Birthday Sliver Trivia

New • 17 Apr 2024 • Asked by rwssr • 41 Comments

Hey Mark, it’s my birthday! Can I please get a birthday trivia factoid on either Sliver Overlord or Sliver Gravemother!!?

Sliver Queen had been pretty popular. Legions brought back Slivers, so we thought it would be cool to do another five-color legendary Sliver in Scourge. We picked two abilities we thought would be useful. The tutor ability so you could go get the Sliver you needed in the moment, and the steal ability to help in Sliver on Sliver matches.Happy Birthday!

Sliver Birthday Fact

Hi Mark! My birthday was 4/17. I’m 43 now. Can I please get a birthday trivia factoid on either Sliver Hivelord or Sliver Overlord? :)

When we put Slivers in Magic 2014, we didn’t make a five-color Sliver as we’d done with previously Sliver printings. The audience wasn’t happy about that, so we ended up putting one, Sliver Hivelord, in (along with a cycle of Slivers) Magic 2015.Happy Birthday!

Hey Mark, today is my birthday, can I get a birthday trivia factoid about either Sliver Overlord, Sliver Hivelord, or The First Sliver?

The First Sliver came about because we in a vision design meeting and we were trying to one up each other about the craziest mechanic we could grant to Slivers. The winner was cascade. Happy Birthday!

Erratum on Slivers' Non-Sliver Types

New • 22 Jan 2022 • Asked by tyranova • 46 Comments

Just as a polite correction to "Slivers with non-Sliver types," not counting the two Playtest cards, there have been six non-Sliver types on Slivers: Fungus (Fungus Sliver), Illusion (Mistform Sliver), Trilobite (Scuttling Sliver), Construct (Sliver Construct), Mutant (Sliver Overlord), and Spirit (Spectral Sliver) with the two Playtest cards "technically" adding 2 more (Eldrazi and Dragon) for a combined total of 8/112 (~7% of all Slivers period) or 6/109 (~5.5% of all Slivers legal in most formats) of Slivers that have additional types, which I found interesting to look up (Just in case anyone was curious what other types were added onto Slivers)

Birthday Trivia About Slivers

Hey Mark, it’s my birthday today. Can I get a birthday trivia factoid concerning either: Sliver Legion, Sliver Hivelord, Sliver Overlord, or The First Sliver?

Normally, when we put Slivers in a block we put in one legendary five-color Sliver, so in Future Sight (the end of Time Spiral block), I made one based on a card I designed in Exodus that I really liked called Coat of Arms. That’s how Sliver Legion came to be. Happy Birthday!

Sliver and Emrakul Trivia

New • 18 Oct 2015 • Asked by agntsmi7h • 30 Comments

Hey MaRo, today is my birthday and I was wondering if I could get some trivia on either my favorite commander Sliver overlord or my favorite flying spaghetti monster Emrakul!

We originally made Sliver Queen because we wanted a legendary sliver and five colors felt right. This has led to a trend that whenever we bring Slivers back, we always make a new Legendary five-color Sliver. Happy Birthday!

Sliver Typing Logic

New • 13 Aug 2014 • Asked by waflman7 • 32 Comments

Why is Sliver Overlord a Type-Sliver Mutant whereas Sliver Queen, Hivelord, and Legion are just Type-Sliver?

Because they aren’t mutants. : )

Desired Legendary Types

In response to your question of legends we'd like to see (my playgroup and I are crazy for legends, even ones that suck in EDH): Somehow, a legendary Sliver, A Legendary mutant (but personable/humanoid, not like Kraj), A legendary Nightmare (or just bring back Nightmares in general!!), and a legendary Vedalken would be nice since we've yet to see a single one of those, I believe. ^.^

Legendary Slivers: Sliver Legion Sliver Queen Legendary Mutant Experiment Kraj Legendary Sliver & Mutant Sliver Overlord Legendary Vedalken Nin, the Pain Artist I’ll see what we can do about a legendary nightmare. EDIT: Okay, Kraj is quite a bit like Kraj.
