Increasing Vengeance

Deafening Silence Critique

I detest Deafening Silence as someone who likes noncreature spells and spells that copy other spells. Considering many of those copy effects are in Red - e.g. Increasing Vengeance, Fork, Reverberate - which has absolutely no recourse in-color to deal with enchantments (like Deafening Silence), it feels like it majorly hoses those types of fun red cards and is very uninteractive where it has that effect. To balance this with something positive, Fervent Champion is delightful.

Magic shines because it makes a wide variety of threats and a wide variety of answers. One of the downsides of playing a monocolor deck is you are more vulnerable to certain threats as not every color has every answer,
