i know its far off still, but do you think or hope they'll print more slivers in M15? perhaps more black and blue ones?

Doubtful. Slivers in M14 were really just for nostalgia and an update to their share abilities.

I jolly well hope so, my hive mind could always do with more talent.

It's my understanding that Slivers were included in M14 simply as a throwback to give another archetype to draft into. Most of the Slivers were in Naya colors to facilitate drafting playable Sliver decks.

I hope not. The new slivers sucked for the most part. When they do print them again it should be true hive minded slivers that actually look like slivers.

Slivers were the returning mechanic last core set, like Bloodthirst in M12 and Scry in M11. We won't be seeing them in M15.

If they do reprint them in M15 (though I doubt it), I would view it as a "direction to be taken"... i.e: the following expansion would likely be one with slivers.

This may interesting, as slivers were introduced in the Tempest block, and largely used in Onslaught block (15 slivers printed in Legions... only being beat by Time Spiral, with 28 total... 26, + 2 "time shifted").

So... my conclusion. If Slivers are in M15, there may be a "return to ___" set, for Tempest, or Onslaught (reprint of Fetch Lands...?).

Again, I doubt this will be the case.

"What? Weren't Slivers M14's thing? Yes, they were, but I didn't want people who made Sliver decks in M14 to never get any new toys to play with. Because Slivers don't reside on Theros, M15 was the only other chance we had to get new Slivers into Standard alongside Galerider Sliver, Predatory Sliver, and the rest of the M14 crew. There is a cycle of five uncommons, many of which play well on their own and are devastating in combination, as well as a new mythic rare Sliver that every Sliver aficionado has been waiting for."
