What it does

Counter target spell. Its controller can't cast spells this turn.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-04-15

    You must be able to target a spell to cast Render Silent.

  • 2013-04-15

    The affected player can still activate abilities, including abilities of cards in their hand (such as bloodrush abilities), and the player can still play lands.

  • 2013-04-15

    If the spell is an illegal target when Render Silent tries to resolve (because it’s been countered by another spell, for example), Render Silent won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.

  • 2013-04-15

    Render Silent doesn’t stop any player from casting spells in response to Render Silent before it resolves.

  • 2013-04-15

    A spell that “can’t be countered” is a legal target for Render Silent. The spell won’t be countered when Render Silent resolves, but that spell’s controller won’t be able to cast spells for the rest of the turn.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Render Silent

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Render Silent — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
