Can you cast Silence before untap in MTG?
Actually, casting Silence before your opponent's untap step is a strategy I wish worked, but sadly, it doesn't. You can only cast it during their upkeep, right after untap, to effectively skip their main phase actions. Timing is key!

Silence timing is everything; cast it during upkeep, not before untap. There's no window to play spells before players untap their cards.
Why bother casting Silence when you can't do it before untap? Just hit them with a counterspell when they cast something big, way more satisfying.
Nope, you can't cast Silence before the untap step. MTG rules say no one gets priority to cast spells or activate abilities until after the untap step has finished and we've moved into the upkeep step. So, you gotta wait until the upkeep to silence your opponent!
