Now we are about halfway of the new pack.
Great, so the rest are just gonna be dumped at us instead of getting a decent stream of unveils. Considering it's coming on the 26th.
Given that the alternative would have been another few months of waiting I'm actually pretty happy about that!

Also if the 1/1 gets silenced it should get its stat back like the Volazj ones.
That's not how it would work. Herald Volazj summons 'debuffed' versions of the minions already on your board, so silencing them would remove that debuff and set them to their original stats.
Shadowcaster creates a entirely new card of the copied minion. This means that the stats the card has are it's basic stats, so silencing it would just remove any effects, but not affect its stats.

Do you have evidence from Blizzard on this, or are you just speculating?

It might be speculation but I think it makes sense. The effect of silence is essentially to remove all buffs and debuffs and reset the card to its base stats without text. We have heard from Blizzard that the 1/1 for cards summoned by Volazj is a debuff that can be removed by silence but I don't think it's likely that the card created by Shadowcaster would be created with proper stats but have a debuff in your hand to make it 1/1. That's not what the text says. If the base card you play is a 1/1 then, logically, that's what silence would set it to.

It's just speculation, but I would be very, very surprised if it worked as dTHEb assumed it would.

Shadowcaster is going to be absolutely disgusting in C'thun decks. I love it!
Well considering that Shadowcaster would turn your powerhouse C'thun into a measly 1/1 and his battlecry relies on his attack to be good that might not be a good idea

Although, I suspect that, since the C'thun buff is attached to the player and not the specific card, the 1/1 would probably still get the buff!

Isn't it attached to C'thun I mean If a priest managed to copy C'thun through one of their many tricks or by faceless manipulating him wouldn't he retain the stats he has build

No. If you entomb him he doesn't get any of the cultist buffs your opponent played only your own:
@PlayHearthstone what'll happen to c'thun when he gets entombed?Will buffs count towards you(rs)and does your opponent still only buff his?
The reply: Each player has their own C'Thun buffs. If you played none, your C'Thun will be 6/6, no matter what your opponent played.

@PlayHearthstone If a priest thoughtsteals C'thun, does it keep the stats it has, or is it a 6/6?
The reply: If a Priest Thoughsteals C'Thun, the stolen C'Thun gains the ritual buffs from that Priest, not the player C'Thun was stolen from

@PlayHearthstone If C'Thun gets bounced back to the owners hand, does his buffs go away?
The reply: C'Thun bumped into hand retains ritual buffs, but would lose spell buffs such as Blessing of Kings.
