Yes, it can. So apparently more new players aren't using it, but that doesn't change the fact that Epic Struggle is vulnerable. Sure, only to an extent, but it's not a certainty that it will go off even if it does resolve. And if you have no disruption with which to let your infinitely large...
No, no...
It really does say that Slivers can't be the targets of spells or abilities...
...which, of course, is why it sucks. I mean, when you make your slivers untargetable, your opponent will just sit back and laugh. No one ever uses creature removal or anything that targets, and now you...
Well, there's Strip Mine though...
...and Sinkhole is much more potent (in monoblack) than something like Pillage...
Really, I would rank Sinkhole as the #2 LD card behind Strip Mine...
Yep, sarcastic! That's what it is. Crystalline Sliver really sucks and I would trade it for a Snowfall. It's absolutely useless since it counteracts the totally awesome Magma Sliver, so why would anyone use it? :rolleyes:
It's in the rules somewhere to be sure, the exact number escapes me right now, and I'm way too lazy to look it up...
So I don't see why you would need to build some insane deck just to show your friend...
Although I did do that with proxy cards...
But then again the one guy still plays with...
Yeah, I mean, if there were no moxes of any sort, no Sol Rings, Mana Vaults, Grim Monoliths, Strokes, Braingeysers, MoMas, Candelabras, etc. Tolarian Academy wouldn't be so good...
Correctness? But Crystalline Sliver is easily the best sliver there is...
I guess Muscle Sliver or Wing are somewhat close, but Crystalline is still definitely the best.
