Note: hoping this isn't real.
It is... Lol. I'm not too happy about it myself. But, it happens I suppose. I'm hoping Theros will be a great block though.
I wonder if they make another 5 color legendary sliver
Hopefully not :P
I really like how they are more humanoid looking now in the art work. Looks very cool.

That's the exact spoiler picture I posted to Reddit last night. It's real.
The ones spoiled so far are overcosted for slivers.

The Haste one is pretty sweet
The art isn't very.... sliver-y. They seem too humanoid.
It is my understanding that Slivers are a beloved tribe. I personally think it's just a basic tribe, easy to understand, with a bit of overstated power. Lots of removal is floating around, and the chances of massive numbers of them sticking is hard. None of them are particularly powerful enough.
Pending one that makes them all indestructible (thus overpowering them) one that gives them regeneration equal to their mana cost would be good. Proves to make them somewhat resilient and mana intensive.
I played when slivers originally came out; I thought they gave something new. It got really messy when an opponent would play slivers as well. And really, slivers is one of the few tribes exclusive to Magic.

That's why I like them. Elves, zombies, vampires, goblins, etc. exist in other mediums. Slivers don't.

There's Myr as well!
Aren't Slivers just the Zerg? But in Magic terms they make each other more powerful instead of swarming in great numbers, as swarming in magic would create a great barrier to overcome.
Well I'm glad that at least this time around its only slivers that "you control".
Why do you hate them so much?

I didn't even notice that until you said something. I thought a two headed giant team playing slivers would be pretty unstoppable; giving each other abilities and such. Effecting all slivers could really change your tactics though; would you play a sliver if your opponent was playing slivers as well, or hold onto it until you could clear his board?

tokens? What if each sliver could produce tokens. And had populate effects. Then they could swarm
I hate that they have faces now.

Likewise. Seems rather rediculous that they would make them humanoid. Leave them looking like Alien from Aliens movies with a rediculously powerful evolution aspect.
,_, slivers.. oh god, why?

I do too, but this (http://dougbeyermtg.tumblr.com/post/49835902311/slivers-evolved) makes me understand the art just a
little more.

I hope they reprint {Brood Sliver}.
