Slivers, creatures introduced in the 1997 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Tempest, are notable for their shared abilities through a hive mind. In the new set, Edge of Eternities, players seeking to enhance their Slivers decks may be disappointed to find only one sliver card, Thrumming Hivepool, which is an artifact and not a creature. Although Slivers do not formally appear in this set's story, hints suggest that they will return in future releases. Their lore tells of a species used as adaptable beasts of burden and led by their queen, the Gravemother.
Slivers have always been a popular creature type and a staple of tribal decks, thanks to their trademark mechanic that allows each sliver to share its abilities with the rest of the brood.
Players hoping to spice up their Slivers Commander or tribal decks will be disappointed to learn that there is only one sliver card in the set, and... it's not a creature.
Slivers draw inspiration from the sci-fi trope of a swarm of alien creatures linked by a hive mind, similar to the Tyranids in the Warhammer 40k universe.
The hidden queen of slivers, the Gravemother, orchestrated the rise of her species and their takeover of the world.
