Plague Sliver
Oracle Text
All Slivers have "At the beginning of your upkeep, this permanent deals 1 damage to you."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Plague Sliver is a brutal 5/5 body for four mana that fits best in a midrange or aggressive black shell, where sheer rate matters more than longevity. In Magic: The Gathering, its real twist is the global Sliver clause: every Sliver you control inherits a self-inflicted upkeep ping, turning the tribe’s usual communal perfection into a poisoned bargain. That makes it less of a pure tribal payoff and more of a finisher or pressure piece in decks that can exploit haste, sacrifice, or life-drain to offset the damage. It pairs especially well with cards that reward creature ETBs or recursion, since the body is efficient even if the board is temporary. If you build around it, favor ways to close quickly or stabilize life totals—think lifelink sources, drain effects, or disposable Slivers—because Plague Sliver asks you to win before the hive’s venom catches up to you.
