Strategy
A card chosen in many decks thanks to its powerful Silence effect. With its low cost, it is a cheap solution to an enemy minion which has a strong effect or has been buffed by many spells. Ironbeak Owl is a great low-cost counter to the popular 
Twilight Drake, as the silence will reduce the Drake to a 4/1 regardless of how much health it gained from the Battlecry.
For heroes other than the druid, priest and shaman, this minion and Spellbreaker are the only ways to utilize Silence.
