I have wondered that before as well...and the best I could think of is a stall defense that harmed itself to avoid initiative.

To my knowledge, a defense really can't go head to head with Silver.

Echo the sentiment about defenses not intended to fight the enemy.  CBN banding is very effective since a lot of silver is FBTN, but getting up to just under their strength and playing end-the-battle cards are the best way to handle Silver.  That or soul manipulation.

MJB, I think it probably has the best shot.  However, I feel it lacks battle winners.  I could be wrong. 

The issue I see is that so many battle winners specify human and combine that with silver's ability to interrupt and life just gets difficult.

I used to have an angel hate T2 deck. The defense was orange and used Deceiving Spirit/Seven Sons to spam Oblivious and Angelic Rebellion.

Orange is clearly the superior defense to handling Silver, in my opinion.  There are multiple CBP/CBN immunity/auto-win characters (Prince of Tyrus, Prince of the Air, Prince of Persia).  There is tons of banding, some of it CBP/CBN (Fallen Angel, Prince of Greece, Wandering Spirit, the dual-color demons, Spirit of Temptation, Panic Demon), which is pretty much only stopped by TSA (except CBP/CBN) and CWD (which happens to have great synergy with Silver).  Orange does lack good enhancements, but Silver is even worse, especially against Orange (recurrable Wandering Spirit/Panic Demon banding chains with GoH backup; also, Striking Herod only targets humans).  Orange at least can spam Worshipping Demons via Twice Afflicted.
