Card of the Day

Obviously this card has to be reviewed based on
being in a Sliver deck, because it is definitely
crap outside of it. On the whole, being able
to play instant-speed slivers is a pretty good
thing. A ward Sliver coming in as an instant
is pretty ugly. Having a Provoke sliver on
the board, attacking, damage on the stack, drop
Toxin Sliver, is a pretty good thing. The
fact of the matter is this - being able to drop a
LOT of the slivers with Surprise vale can be
completely brutal to an opponent, so I think this
card will surely see play in Sliver decks.
In limited, it's a an
instant speed sliver - could be useful, but not as
much so.
Constructed:
4.25

While Slivers will
most definitely be the HOT new tribal set in
Onslaught block, this guy is generally weak, and
will only see play in constructed if someone
manages to build a deck that utilizes instant
Slivers to a high advantage. Quick Sliver itself
is too puny to take advantage of the surprise
instant factor, so unless your board is well built
with supporting Slivers, he's kind of a dud. In
limited, you'd have to have one heck of a Sliver
army for him to be playable.

Slivers are back,
and they can now be cast as instants with this
guy. Not as impressive in duels as it is in
multiplayer games, as the ability to plop out
multiple instant speed symbiotes really messes
with people more in multiplayer than it does in
duels. However, I think this will still see some
play in the new sliver decks - especially in
extended ...
"Shock the Quick
Sliver"
"In response, I'll
cast a Crystalline Sliver."
In limited, I'm not
too terribly impressed, as you won't have as
many slivers to be able to take advantage of
this.
Constructed: 3.75
Limited: 2.5

Quick Sliver
Instant creatures are good! 1/1's for 2 mana are
not. There would have to
be a very specific reason for me to want to play
slivers as instants in
constructed for this guy to find a spot in my
sliver decks. in constructed
he's even more of a dead pick, when an off color
morph creature is a better
choice.
constructed - 2
limited - 1.5 |

Quick Sliver
YEEESSSSS!!!!! I am so happy they brought back
Slivers! I am so happy they br...ok you get it!
Instant slivers for 2. Aluren vs. Quick Sliver.
This
guy can pop up anytime plus its a sliver itself.
So...I'd play this. Limited, Hell, its cool as
long
as opponent has no slivers.
Contructed:4.5
Limited:4 |

Quick Sliver – You
don’t know how bad I wanted to type “Quick,
Silver, away!”. Anyway, creatures as instants
always provide a nice surprise and a way to help
get around counters and end-of-turn disruption.
Even better, with enough mana on the board you can
play this guy and then drop other slivers for more
pumping madness. I don’t know if it is a best-of
or the most necessary sliver but it is faily
decent.
Constructed – A decent
sliver. It doesn’t really ramp up the offense or
defense but grants a bit of flexibility – 2.50
Limited – Do you have
enough slivers to make it important – heck even if
you don’t a surprise 1/1 body can be good at this
cost – 2.65
PEZ – Well, Sliver
decks might be ready to start fresh in this format
but maybe they are looking somewhere else for the
breakout sliver – 2.50 |
