Editing Slivers (section)

==Appearances==
Thus far, the Slivers appeared in four different blocks. The first three times they appeared spread out over the blocks, the fourth time they [[Awesome|appeared in a Core set]] (pretty great because it makes them more accessible to new players.)

===[[Tempest Cycle]]===
In the Tempest Cycle the Slivers appeared for the first time, spread over the first two blocks. In Tempest there were eleven Slivers: five common 1/1s with a CMC of 2 and five uncommon 2/2s with a CMC of 3, one for each color. Five of these Slivers have passive abilities, five have activated abilities that cost 2. The eleventh Sliver is Metallic Sliver, a 1/1 artifact creature for 1.

Stronghold had the other six Slivers in the cycle: five uncommon two-colored 2/2s for 2. The sixth is the Sliver Queen, one of three Legendary Slivers, and the honorary first [[WUBRG|five color]] creature. She can generate 1/1 Sliver tokens for 2, [[Rape|TLDR: she is a combo monstrosity.]]

===[[Otaria Cycles|Onslaught Cycle]]===
Returning in Onslaught Cycle, there are sixteen Slivers. The first fifteen appear in Legions: five common 1/1s, five uncommon 2/2s and five rare 3/3s, one for each color. Some of the most powerful Slivers are in this batch; Shifting Sliver, Toxin Sliver and [[Matt Ward|Ward]] Sliver are all but obligations for decks that can use them.

The sixteenth Sliver is in Scourge: [[Swarmlord|and by far is the most terrifying sliver legendary of all time.]] Known as Sliver Overlord, it has the ability to [[Rape|Search your library for slivers, reveal them, and add them to your hand,]] and [[Cheese|steals opposing slivers]]. Especially powerful when combined with Amoeboid Changeling.

===[[Time Spiral]]===
The Time Spiral block contains by far the most Slivers. The first set, Time Spiral, contains 26 Slivers. There are two commons, one uncommon and one rare per color, a cycle of allied-color uncommons and an overpriced artifact creature who is 5 for a 3/3. Of the commons one set of them have abilities that call back to older cards and static abilities while the others do not.

The Slivers from Planar Chaos are... weird. Eleven Slivers this time around: five [[overcosted]] common monocolored Slivers with abilities outside of the [[Color Pie]], five uncommon enemy-colored two-colored 2/2s and a White time-shifted Sliver that grants +1/+1 to your Slivers.

Future Sight introduced six more Slivers: five common Future Shifted cards with then-unseen abilities and the third rare Legendary Sliver: the [[Anal circumference|Sliver Legion who buffs every Sliver on the battlefield by giving them +1/+1 for every Sliver on the battlefield.]]

===Magic 2014===
[[File:Predatory Sliver Image.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Predatory Sliver, one of the new Slivers.]]
A new breed of Slivers appeared on the plane of [[Shandalar]]. They have gone to a bipedal form with long head-tentacles, clawed arms with sometimes the old-school talons, legs with three joints and chitinous bodies. While the design itself is not bad, [[Butthurt|most people are pretty damn pissed off that they arent the classic beaked design]]. [[Skub|The reason for this is that there aren't any more variations Wizards can do on a one-appendaged beaked worm-like creature, because they've already done just about every possible variation]]. [[Rage|Also, they are SHANDALAR SLIVERS NOT DOMINARIA ONES THEY EVOLVED DIFFERENTLY DUE TO THE HIVELORD.]] Not a lot of new things are added to the table: most are reprints of previous Slivers, albeit with a different cost. Unlike previous iterations, M14 slivers grant their abilities only to slivers with the same controller as themselves, rather than to all Slivers. Another thing that upset a number of people is that the Slivers don't form a series of full sets across the colors: there are four Red and four Green Slivers, three White and one each for Blue and Black. And an artifact creature as well.

===Magic 2015===
A cycle of uncommon Slivers was introduced in M15, and, as is tradition when Slivers are printed, they need a [[Chapter Master Smashfucker|powerful 5 color legendary to lead them]]. That legendary was [[Awesome|Sliver Hivelord]], which gives your Slivers [[Awesome|indestructible]] at the cost of it being only a 5/5 compared to each other Sliver legendary being a 7/7. This didn't break the Standard format and have Slivers run absolutely rampant [[Butthurt|which is what was supposed to happen]] due to control being so strong in that meta. [[Commander]] players however were in for a absolute [[Slaanesh|ass raping of a magnitude not seen for quite some time]] due to Sliver Commanders even more auto includes! its no wonder people who hate the tribe claim [[Elf|"the deck builds itself"]] as for having less than 100 creatures in its total, its spoilt for powerful includes.

===Modern Horizons===
Slivers returned to Magic after being notably absent from the Dominaria set. They decided to stay with a more traditionally designed sliver this time, as the set was sort of designed as second Time Spiral. As a Modern only set, these slivers never got a chance to see Standard play, and even in Modern, they rarely see play. Slivers were the Red White draft build around of the set, with two signpost Red and White rare slivers. However, as per tradition, there was a cycle of slivers in all 5 colors and a big bad boss monster Sliver, known as the First Sliver. The First Sliver has Cascade, and gives all your other Slivers Cascade as well, allowing you to flood the board extremely quickly! As of this writing, the First Sliver is the most budget-friendly Sliver for EDH, costing only 5 dollars.
