I would love to see a sliver walker, but i will always like new sliver stuff, it was the first deck i ever built on my own and i always love the hivemind creatures no matter the game.

Tldr: I like silvers.

Aren't all slivers in the hive connected? So 1 gets a spark then they all do?

An army of sliver planes walkers! The horror!

What is something unique that this "Sliver Planeswalker" would have that any combination of 4-5 other slivers won't give em? You want em bigger? Legion or megantic. Protection? Ward. Everything except making them have something like "inspired" or some other new mechanic that has not been creates as of yet. A sliver Planeswalker would be redundant as well. People already see slivers and want to kill the deck entirely. Making a sliver creature basically become a Planeswalker just seems pointless to me.

Actually emblem based buffs would be insane...

Good point, but what would it give that would be actually playable? There is no way a "all slivers get +x/+x" could be a thing or suddenly you drop a 1/1 sliver that becomes, say, a 4/4. It suddenly becomes very hard to kill. Not including any other sliver that can/will also be in play that either buffs each sliver again or gives them some kind of protection. I do agree though that seeing a sliver-like emblem would be cool, I just don't think there is much they could do with it since it would either be way too strong or unplayably weak.

Well most emblems are win cons in the first place so I'm sure an emblem with +x\+x would be viable considering other emblems such as "your opponent can't cast creature spells" "search your deck for a card and your opponents and cast them without paying their mana cost" or "you get an 8/8 kraken at the end of each of your end steps" emblems were meant to be broken so a broken sliver emblem would fit well.

But I don't want more Sliver EDH decks running around. Those are a pain to deal with already. We don't need more

Slivers say "Slivers have sacrifice this permanent get effect" such as {Acidic Sliver}. This leads me to believe we might get some sort of tribal enchantment or land that's also a sliver that's not Mutavault or an artefact that's a sliver or something. I feel a walker for slivers would just push it over the edge

LinkCelestrial

{Domri Rade} is used in a couple of Sliver decks for his emblem. It's possible that there could be something like that if a Sliver Planeswalker was made (however unlikely).

An enchantment or something does make a lot of sense.
