not only can’t you issue an urgent fix for a completely unfair deck, you can’t fix game mechanics that shouldn’t work, as happened in the screenshot, I do these actions all the time and a dead creature under silence is not considered a creature with a death rattle. This didn’t happen here, why should I play every game against unfair decks, and also without the ability to counterplay

This is not a bug.
Silencing prevents the deathrattle from triggering when the minion dies. However once a minion dies and enters the pool for death minions it is then considered as the base version of this minion.
That’s why cards that bring back minions with deathrattles can bring back minions that were silenced.
If I send a video of how this strategy works literally yesterday, what will you say?
Of course it is. Silence is not retained after death.
Great work at finding out by yourself that they fixed a bug, sad though that you didn’t understand that the behavior you saw previously was incorrect
It WAS a bug that silencing a deathrattle minion would prevent them to be resurected
oh my god they really hotfixed almost the only counterplay of this deck, although logically everything worked as it should.
ty for answer, i understood why it happened, but it didn’t make me feel any better
if you mean that silencing a deathrattle minion prevents cards that resurect deathrattle minions to resurect them, then no it wasn’t working as it should
Resurecting a minion based on a keyword always look at the plain version of the card, regardless of any alteration made to the card before its death (transformations excluded)
there have been a few “exceptions” in the past with cards worded differently
Example with Counterfeit Blade that used to read " Battlecry: Gain a random friendly Deathrattle that triggered this game", which allowed to negate this battlecry by silencing the minion so its deathrattle wouldn’t trigger, but also to gain a deathrattle that does not exist on a plain minion or weapon (example the deathrattle given by Corpse Raiser)
