Rare M15 Land: Sliver Hive
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

Here's the new land for ALL SLIVER DECKS EVER. That is all.
Welp, time to make a casual Sliver deck. I like this a lot.
June 24, 2014 3:17 a.m.
Well, thanks for printing this now Wizards, not like I could of used it in M14... Cough cough...
June 24, 2014 3:25 a.m.
Another bright side? You can just use this with M14 cards in a month.
June 24, 2014 3:36 a.m.
They don't rotate until Khans rolls around. Core sets get to enjoy each other for a bit.
June 24, 2014 3:49 a.m.
You get all the Slivers from M14 and M15 from July to late September.
Standard has the largest support by far and draws in the biggest crowds for tournaments. It's also still cheaper to buy new cards every year than it is to ouright purchase just about any competitively viable Legacy deck. I'm more than willing to drop $100 around rotation to pick up the lands and rares I want, but $100 isn't even close to a single Underground Sea .
But by all means, let's rag on Standard.
June 24, 2014 3:53 a.m.
But I wasn't ragging on standard? And I know, but that's not a lot of time for me, as I am busy and can't make it to fnm as much as I want. And I play modern and casual edh, I can't afford those dual lands :P

Yessssssss the good art, and mana fixing for slivers! No Cavern of Souls but hey.

This is gonna make my Modern Sliver deck even better! Cant wait for it and the new Sleiver Legend and the 5 Uncommons in M15: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-2015%E2%80%94its-there-2014-06-23

Thank god, it's not Cavern of Souls . Because fuck that card.
WUBRG Slivers couldn't be happier. And that makes me happy, because I love (watching) that deck.
June 24, 2014 7:16 a.m.
So excited! Crazy expensive to make a token, but no downside on it so I'll take it.
June 24, 2014 9:41 a.m.
To be fair, once those tokens come out they might very well be Flying 4/4 Vigilance, Trample -ers.

I want one. Or 3. It will be my Ancient Ziggurat replacement.

Zandl, although Standard is more expensive than Legacy (arguable case, because a $500 MBD deck gets used for 1 year and then you have to re-buy the cards), it is far more expensive than Modern.

@GoldGhost012 thats exactly what I will be doing too, but need 4 of them :D

They might be printing slivers again in M15 because of this
June 24, 2014 12:14 p.m.
If you dropped $500 on your MBD deck, I feel bad for you because that's not how much it cost back in October.
Also, you only have to buy one block's worth of cards each year. Why would I have to go back and repurchase Desecration Demon this year if I bought a playset for $2 last last year?
Also, good luck using a Standadd budget to build Modern Jund.

How many people actually bought Desecration Demon at $2? I didn't say building Jund, more along the lines of Merfolk, Goblins, RDW, Tron, BW Tokens, even some Twin builds.
June 24, 2014 1:17 p.m.
I was pointing out that it's cheaper to maintain a Modern habit than maintaining a Standard habit over several years.
June 24, 2014 1:17 p.m.
I hope the M15 slivers have some e t b effects instead of just pumping or gifting each other. I has me an E D H deck that needs more firepowe
June 24, 2014 1:46 p.m.
I invested in Desecration Demon last summer after testing it and using it to success frequently. I bought a handful of them for 46 cents apiece and sold them for $8 each just a few months later.

For some reason.... looking at this card made me realize I really don't mind the new card layout.
Sure, it's not the way I personally would have gone with the layout... but it's not horrible and won't be hard to get used to.

Schuesseled says... #32
I don't mind the new layout at all for non-creatures, do a little bit with the p/t box sticking out. But what you gonna do ehh.
By the way peeps, the new slivers could still look like humanoid slug men, this land doesn't prove anything.

Just when I feel like I have my Sliver EDH deck perfect (aside from a little more mana fixing) Wizards goes and pulls this shit.
This land is awesome, but.............more commons?! With the encouragement that they are going to be fine on their own but pair well with other slivers..............AND A MYTHIC THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN DROOLING FOR?! I was ready to take a pass on M15 and pick up only key cards, but the prerelease card and all of this madness is making me all giddy.

awesomeguy37, please please please no more slivers in core sets unless they fix them good or give another proper set of slivers. Having those slivers in M14 was kind of a joke in my opinion.

MTGprojectzer0 says... #37
OpenFire, ya I know. I'm just said that at least they fixed the art by reverting to the old art. I'm just saying please no more of the new slivers from M14 cos I find them bad; not just the art but some are... I don't know... just bad to me.
June 26, 2014 1:44 p.m.
"...slivers from M14 cos I find them bad; not just the art but some are... I don't know... just bad to me."
... But they're Slivers. Predatory Sliver is strictly better than Muscle Sliver , and fanboys cream their pants for Muscle Sliver . In fact, all of the M14 Slivers are strictly better than their old counterparts.

I still preferred the old slivers. The potential for silliness in EDH is far greater. The only M14 slivers my sliver deck contains are Manaweft Sliver (for its extreme effectiveness) and Bonescythe Sliver (as another player really wanted me to include him for some reason, and lent me one). It technically puts me at a disadvantage against another EDH sliver deck that uses mostly newer slivers, aside from me including Plague Sliver and Dormant Sliver to give them funny problems.
That land is pretty slick. I can't imagine what Mythic Rare sliver they could print that wasn't covered by the first three legendary rare ones...
