Silver bullet

Common card · No. 216305

In folklore, a silver bullet is often one of the few weapons that are effective against a werewolf, vampire, witch, or other supernatural being. The term silver bullet is also sometimes used similarly to "magic bullet" as a metaphor for a simple, seemingly magical, solution to a difficult problem: for example, penicillin c. 1930 was a "silver bullet" or magic bullet that allowed doctors to treat and successfully cure many bacterial infections.
