It's a
5CC sliver for 2/2, which sucks, but it's ability
is game-breaking. Once it hits, it can
nulify black or red spot removal, be able to block
green's biggest fatties, and race most weenie
decks. But it costs 5. Scary.
The viability of this sliver will depend on the
viability of Slivers in general. This one,
like most of the others, are just really good with
Quick Sliver. Time will tell.
In limited, pro-color
can be good, and probably will work more in your
favor than your opponent's so less chance of it
smacking you back in the face. I'd probably
play it in sealed, and could be brutal in draft.
Constructed:
3.5

This card is pretty
crazy good. I had it played against me in limited,
and if my opponent had had more Slivers, it would
have been ugly. As it was, he muted half my army.
I suppose this could be useful in the mirror match
up, Sliver Deck against Sliver Deck, as long as
you have clear board advantage. But it could also
be a double-edged sword if you lose board
advantage.

The first sliver
that is not truly symmetrical, as the color
chosen can make a big difference in the game.
Still, a very nice ability to have, as it will
give you a good deal of unblockability or damage
removal prevention. It's white though, so I
don't know how much play it will see. Especially
in extended, where you can pay 3 less and get
the untargetability.
In limited, if I wer
playing slivers, this is truly the only sliver I
would like to have, as it gives me control over
what happens.
Constructed: 3.5
Limited: 2.75

5 mana... for a 2/2... I really do like protection
from any color, but I
don't like paying twice what I'd normally pay for
it.
constructed - 2.9
limited - 2.8 |

Protection is very good. All creatures getting it
is
good! 5 cc? hmm, It looks good and I have played
it in
casual several times I like it!
Limited: Not as useful but I'd play it if i have a
few
slivers.

Expensive but awesome. Absolutely killer against
mono decks and a great way to sneak Slivers in for
damage and prevent them from dying. This second
use is key because it will ensure that your
Slivers remain superpowered.
Constructed Pretty
expensive and not as good since many decks are
multicolored (although multiples will solve this
problem). Still a very solid choice and this or
some other evasion will be critical to wins 3.75
Limited Most decks
are running at least 3 colors and with limited
numbers of Slivers and a high cost/low power this
isnt nearly as strong 1.25
PEZ This will
probably become a key card for PEZ Sliver decks
even though it is expensive. In an environment
which heavily favors mono-colored decks this is a
game winner 4.00 |

All slivers gain
protection from the color of your choice.
Hmmm...not bad; 2/2 for five mana.....BLAH! Five
mana should basically give you a game breaking
spell or a creature with big numbers in the bottom
right corner or a powerful ability. Ward Sliver is
a small creature with a situational ability that
will probably come too late to do much. Too slow
slow for constructed and it will probably only
protect itself in limited.
Constructed: 1.5

Ward Sliver
hmmmmm.... you pay 5 for a 2/2 that gives your
Slivers pro [[insert color here]] while he's in
play. I personally don't like him and don't think
he's going to see much play. Having to pay 5 for a
2/2 is pretty bad and the effect you get out of
him is not that great because there are many other
ways to get rid of creatures with protection from
certain colors, so this guy's just not worth it.
He's not even good in Limited because then you'll
just be paying 5 for a 2/2 that can help your
opponent. >,<
No matter which way you look at this creature he's
just not worth it.
