Frost Lich Jaina and Silence

So I was just playing a game on my priest and I’m trying to push lethal against Frost Lich Jaina.

The person playing Jaina has a Medivh, Water Elemental (with Lifesteal) and 1 other minion. I play out silence on the Water Elemental and Mass Hysteria and he gets healed for 3 anyway with the silence on it.

Is this working as intended? I thought Silence removed all buffs including Lifesteal.

Frost lich jainas battlecry is to make any elemental she has have life steal, it is a persistent effect so technically you did silence the elemental but it just regained its life steal right away because its an elemental

Other words yep its working as intended

Lifesteal is aura from Jaina, not a buff
To remove it you have to silence her, and as you can’t silence the portrait - oh bummer.

Blizzard, give us the Lich King boss fight’s emote silence card as a collectible! The fate of everyone who faces Frost Lich Jaina depends on it!
