Slightly overcosted damage prevention, interesting, if at all, only for showing up in a colour that wouldn't normally get such an effect.

Aaron’s Random Card Comment of the Day #74, 4/11/11
The art is certainly charming. That's what this card has going for it.
In general, this card isn't all that poorly made given the era in which it existed. It plays like a counterspell even though it is worded like a white card.
Legends designers liked making cards that represented one of three categories: 1) Enormous Walls. 2) Fatties big enough to knock down enormous Walls. 3) Things you might imagine a magic-user doing in 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Silhouette is obviously in the last camp. For all I know there was a 1st Edition spell called silhouette.
My main regret with this card is that, like many others in the set it's from, it uses up a simple one-word name that would ultimately be better dedployed elsewhere. And no, we have no plans to reuse old (English) card names.
If you feel like you've seen this goofy card on our website more than might be warranted, that's because it is the pet card of one of dailymtg.com's content managers, Monty Ashley. I know Monty has used it as a Card of the Day, a Wallpaper of the Week, and used it as part of the "Deck Registration Simulator" this past April Fool's Day. Here's to you, Montykins!

looks like a Rankin-Baas orc. need this card. will pay a dollar for a playset, which I imagine is far more than its worth.
