a simple guaranteed solution for a difficult problem; "no silver bullet can make the world safe from terrorism"

A card or effect introduced specifically to counter another card(s) introduced in an earlier set (generally this is done in an attempt to control or tone down a perceived abusive effect or combo). Some silver bullets are very specific, others are more broad-spectrum (like Whirlpool of Blood).

Any technology solution that promises to fix all your problems while requiring no specialised skills.

The metaphor of the silver bullet applies to any straightforward solution perceived to have extreme effectiveness. The phrase typically appears with an expectation that some new technology or practice will easily cure a major prevailing problem. The term originates from folklore.

Silver Bullet is a 1985 film based on the Stephen King novella Cycle of the Werewolf. It stars Gary Busey, Everett Mc Gill, Megan Follows, Corey Haim, Terry O'Quinn and Lawrence Tierney. Directed by Dan Attias.

Silver Bullet was a rapper born in London, although he moved to Leighton Buzzard as a youngster and then to Aylesbury in 1988. He is most remembered for his singles "Bring Forth the Guillotine" (Tam Tam record label, 1989) and "20 Seconds to Comply", although he is still releasing records to this day.

Silver Bullet is a B&M inverted coaster that opened in 2004 at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. It features 6 inversions including a vertical loop, cobra roll, zero-g roll, corkscrew and another corkscrew just before the final helix. It is the first B&M inverted rollercoaster to feature an overbanked curve, making Silver Bullet one of the most unique inverted coasters in the world.
