Burn Away

Sliver Gameplay Dynamics

New 17 Feb 2024 Asked by blazinjsin 51 Comments

"as they find the game play of a Sliver on Sliver match-up to be frustrating, where you have to often not play your own cards because it helps the opponent more than you." That was part of the fun, figuring out when to strategically play your slivers to help you more in a mirror match than an opponent. It also made Plague Sliver and Dormant Sliver cool interactions.


The players that enjoyed that the most tended to be the Spike-iest players. It’s the same group that got mad when we took mana burn away.

Mechanics of Red's Abilities

New 16 Mar 2020 Asked by jonathan-hecht 33 Comments

red has the ability to burn something to the poing it cannot be brought back (exiling damage spells) BUT! at least in flavor, can red have exiling from graveyards like black or green in the sense that red can burn away something that was already died?


White, black and green already exile cards directly from graveyards. Red and blue do it reactively, keeping it from going to the graveyard.
