A control or tempo deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's combat phase would benefit from Moment of Silence, as it can provide a strategic advantage by preventing the opponent from attacking for a turn. However, there are potentially better cards like Fog or Holy Day that offer similar effects with additional benefits, such as preventing all combat damage or affecting multiple opponents. Moment of Silence could see play in specific metagames where combat-focused strategies are prevalent, but it may not be a staple card in most decks due to its limited impact compared to other options available.
