Dregscape Sliver

Creature — Sliver1 generic manaBlack mana

The Sliver mechanic has always been about broadcasting a keyword outward: one Sliver hands the whole board flying, or menace, or a pump. This one runs that same wiring into the graveyard instead of across the battlefield, granting every dead Sliver the ability to claw back for a turn. That distinction is the whole design. Most Sliver anthem effects reward you for keeping bodies alive; this rewards you for having lost them, converting a stalled or swept board into a recurring stream of one-shot attackers. The unearth clause does the balancing work honestly: each returned Sliver gets haste but exiles itself at end of turn, so nothing loops and every reanimation is a single use paid at sorcery speed. It reads as a value engine but plays more like a burst of reach, best when you have a pile of cheap Slivers in the yard and one attack step that decides the game. The lineage matters too: black Slivers are historically the graveyard-and-drain wing of the tribe, and pointing an unearth grant at the entire creature type extends that identity into recursion rather than raw stats. It is quiet as a two-drop body, but the enabler is what earns the slot, turning a graveyard full of small Slivers into a resource the deck can spend on its own terms.
