Leeching Sliver

Sliver decks have never wanted for ways to win combat; what they have lacked is a way to make combat irrelevant. This is the answer, scaled to the swarm. Each Sliver that swings shaves another point off the defending player, so the math runs not on damage prevention or blocking math but on raw attacker count: ten Slivers attacking is ten life gone regardless of how the blocks fall, regardless of whether any of those bodies connect. That uncouples the clock from the board state, which is the whole pitch of a go-wide tribal deck. The drain triggers on the attack declaration, not on damage, so chump-blocking the team does nothing to slow the bleed, and an opponent stabilizing the ground still watches their total erode every turn the swarm declares. It is a small body doing a structural job: turning the tribe's natural tendency to flood the board into a second, unblockable win condition that sits alongside the beatdown rather than competing with it. The lineage here is the steady stream of Slivers that hand the type some keyword or trick the rest of the deck shares; this one hands them a reach that ignores the blocking step entirely.
