They're not in newer sets so I personally haven't come across them much.

Slivers are a nasty deck to go up against XD

They are a type of hive. Each sliver shares its ability with another and vise versa so a single sliver can have like 10 different abilities depending on how many different types you have. I have slivers that give all slivers flying and "whenever a sliver is sent to a graveyard you may place it on top of its owners library"

and slivers that have abilities like "whenever a sliver deals combat damage place a 1/1 sliver creature token in play"

Those are just a few. I know a lot of blue slivers have abilities like "whenever a sliver comes into play counter target spell" that works really well with a green sliver that says "you can play slivers anytime you could play an instant"

they are meant to be able to counter everything in a way. except being removed from the game XD

the ones I have are from the Time Spiral cycle

My friends who gotten me into Magic, had snit loads of slivers @-@ back then.. I just wanted this one angel card.. i don't remember it but I refused to get rid of it xD they made me a deck from their cards and would bring it to class for me ouo I miss them Dx

@DK~ did you buy that Time spiral deck box "Sliver evolution"?

That's not a bad starter sliver deck. Even though it says "expert level" but its not really.

Angel card? hmmm... I have a few of those I think...

I wish I could have bought that.. woulda done wonders for my collection ><

This is sort of my wild card in my zombie deck (in the ruling she is actually a zombie, so all my boosts apply to her, and my enchantment to get zombies into play for free also applies)

i have artful dodge of whisperslik cloak to make her unblockable, but if she dies then i do risk someone bringing her back and killing me >_>

that looks like a card that would be illegal xD

Um... I hate to tell you but if you equip that cloak the creature can't be targeted by abilities including its own own.

i wouldn't need her to be targeted by anything? All i need is for her to poke someone.. and none of her own abilities include 'target' o.O I'm not really sure what you mean.

I just meant in general. And I don't think she counts as a zombie. Her creature type is minion.

I know how the cloak works, and don't need to target her with anything once it's on her xD also, she IS a zombie. Like i said before she is listed as a zombie on the gatherer, and also in the duels of the planeswalker game.

Ah okay so Zombie minion. I know a lot of people that only thought it was outside abilities that didn't work on it > .<

But that card is strangely over powered XD

i love it xD once i get my enchantment out that makes all zombies cost 0 things get very interesting.

Okay so what happens when that enchantment is destroyed XD?

If i played it i most likely had her in my hand, which means she came out right after the enchantment. so if it wasn't countered right away I'd still get something from it. even if it's destroyed later. i often throw some other 'big' cards out the turn before to try and get rid of any counters people may have.

But as i said, she's just a fun little wild card. I also don't really need the enchantment either. it's just a nice bonus if i can get it out.

Then I'd just use custody battle on it before you could equip it with the cloak and let you sacrifice lands then play a sliver to destroy your "Free zombies" enchantment then let you either continue to bury land after land to keep her or poke her to death XD

By the way I found that sliver. Iis called "Root Sliver" and its abilities are "Root sliver can't be countered" and "Sliver spells can't be countered"

the thing is, you can't just say you would do that. you can't be sure you'd have those cards at hand at the time that I would do that xD like i may never get the cloak, or the enchantment to help get her out.

The fun thing with slivers is I always have those cards in hand :D

That's why they are so nasty to go up against > u<

But sure I might not get custody battle but I have a chance to get "Brainwash" so you are forced to pay 3 for it to attack or any other instant that does damage to her when you play it.

As a backup I think you should add "Dawn of the dead" to your deck so in an event where she gets destroyed you can bring her back at the cost of 1 life every upkeep. But you only get one chance to with her after that. So its a last resort.

You could also try "No mercy" its an enchantment with the ability to destroy any creature that deals damage to you.


Though on a side note my favorite black card is "Final Punishment" ~ Target player loses life equal to the damage already dealt to him/her this turn

i wouldn't want to have anything that brings her back from the graveyard, as i would insta-lose the game. if she comes into play from anywhere other than your hand you lose. So yeah. Dawn of the Dead is a no go >_<

like I said, she's not a main card in my deck at all, so i wont be putting in any cards specifically to work with her. there are other things i have going. like ending up with 176 6/5 death touching zombies.

Ah I forgot about that little bit... Oh I'd hate to see someone play GWrath of god or soulscour on you XD

And never play against a friend that hates to lose - .-''

That's how you get your Wrath of god set on fire > .<

i would say the main weakness of my zombie token deck is cards that let your opponent assign damage to you for every creature you bring into play. when you're bringing in 70+ zombies a turn.. 1 life for each one x_x

i play magic more for the social side of things, hence playing casual and not being to competitive. win or lose, i don't much care.

someone set one of your cards on fire? o.O

Lol Dk I loves you!

And Trak were slivers just in older decks?

@DK~ Yeah a friend of mine. We were teammates in 2x2 duels. And we ended up getting into an argument about which one of us was better. He started it mind you > .>

Anyway I decided to use my Eight-and-a-half-tails deck. Which is my massive life gain deck and he used his spirit token deck.

Anyway after awhile or so of me stalling and getting up to 200+ life with only playing "8.5 tails" and 3 pious kitsunes he started to get pissed and he also had a large amount of tokens out and I wouldn't block him and I would just take the damage. I knew he didn't have anymore creature spells left so I played Wrath of god and destroyed everything and then I just played a "Devoted Retainer" and poked him to death.

Note that this is a very humiliating way to lose a game. But in the end he decked out before I could fully poke him to death. And then he lit my Wrath of god on fire - .-

@Airina~ Well there are some pretty old ones but the newest ones to my knowledge are from Time Spiral

... That's just wrong.. to light someone's card on fire just because you lost..

KITSUNE! 8D I want a Kitsune deck! <3 <3 and ALLL the kitsune cards for my collection x3

When did time spiral come out? I just barely got into magic a few weeks ago.

I love Sensei golden tail = u= b

Yeah well I think he didn't like the fact that he lost to me instead of just losing XD

I like to mess around when I make decks to try things out and I lose a lot because of it. Like my sheep and beebles deck http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/a...urrhurrplz.png

Good times. Anyway I don't like using my serious decks all that much but when I do my friends tend to get pissed off XD

Though I'm not sure if my goblin deck counts as mess around deck or a serious deck... Its just so hard when you sacrifice a goblin to do damage to your opponent and all I can picture is them being launched from a catapult and going "SPLAT" XD

And they are like http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/a...fisthatplz.png

@Airina~ Oh wow um... Maybe like... 4 years ago I think? Maybe longer... Thanks for making me feel old...

But wait~!!! maybe I'm dashingly older http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/a.../badassplz.gif ?!

I'm fairly old, but I just hadn't gotten into it until two or three weeks ago.

XD

It doesn't matter how old you are~ Ah I was just teasing~

But yeah they don't make many new slivers because they are so strong. Kavus as well. But kavus are harder to find and are far stronger then slivers.

They came out around 07 ouo

Oh wow.... That is really old. I'm kinda frustrated with myself because I know that back in like middle school one of my friends gave me a magic card because he was into it, but i think i lost it in one of the moves..... Unless it is in my art portfolio....

>.> a 1993 card is old =w=

Oh hey the same year I graduated o .o b

So after 5 years my sliver deck hasn't changed XD

@DK~ ALPHA CARDS~!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I have 3 of those o .o...

Though none of them are as expensive as the Black Lotus > .<

I have a few Ultimates but no Beta

I was only 2 when those came out. But one of the guys I played with may have some of those old old cards. He started playing when his kids were little then stopped for 15 years then got back into it with his son.

anyone go to the pre release the other day?

I didn't go to the midnight prerelease but I went to one of the events. I went to the shop's two headed giant that was for the event.

ono anyone get the promo card?

I got the moonsilver artifact card. It's all shiny!

I have no Card shop near me so I didn't go o no

there are several near me but if i moved my car i would have lost my parking spot... and i was sick on those days... i might go home to a shop that is really close that does 7 packs for 20
