Will Altar of the Wretched work in a sliver deck?
Asked by ArmchairRuler 4 months ago
I was looking into adding Altar of the Wretched Flip to my sliver deck, but am unsure if it will work the way I want it to. Ex: I have Cloudshredder Sliver and Lancer Sliver in my graveyard. I activate the craft ability of Altar of the Wretched Flip, exiling the two slivers. Both slivers explicitly state that they give their respective abilities to other slivers, and they only possess their abilities because they are also slivers. If I exile them to make Wretched Bonemass Flip, will it have these abilities even though it is not a sliver?

That is what I was afraid of, despite my best attempts, slivers refuse to be interesting. Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately no, it won't work that way. Cloudshredder Sliver doesn't actually have the "Flying" or "Haste" abilities and Lancer Sliver doesn't actually have the "First Strike" ability. They have abilities that can give them those things but those abilities only function while they're on the battlefield and won't do anything while they're in exile. If they're crafted into Wretched Bonemass Flip they will only contribute their power.
