Unless that's a sliver deck, I'd imagine that would be a horrible deck idea.
(In reference to train's multi-color control deck...)

Chocobo - ask Spidey...

(From my understanding - his friends hate it enough to kill him off first if he's playing it...)

:cool:

At least there isn't going to be a darksteel sliver, though there might as well be.

:rolleyes:
Crystalline Sliver sucks?

Well, that was a couple of months ago... I haven't played since, so they might have forgotten about it...

They don't hate it outright from what I remember, that's more my creature-stealing deck. :)

"Slivers cannot be the target of spells or abilities."

No counterspells or bounces that target a creature. That's the greatest protection. With this on the board, how does one activate Magma Sliver, Crypt Sliver, or Sliver Overlord? Not Sliver deck is as powerful as it could be without the two most powerful and annoying slivers, Crypt and Magma.

Thus, Crystalline Sliver Sucks.

I'd like to mention counterspells can still counter sliver spells - they aren't creatures yet...;)

It doesn't suck, there's a lot worse Sliver Cards.

Untargetability is great (see Whispershield Cloak and others). Either you're mistaken in thinking Crypt and Magma Slivers are great, or you're building the wrong deck around them. I'm pretty sure the old CounterSliver decks before Legions worked just fine without them in there, but still using Crystalline Sliver...

Crystilline sliver does not suck as much as you all might think. For instance, yes slivers cannot be targeted by magma's ability, but it does gain "Tap: Target sliver gains +X/+0 where X is the number of slivers in play."

What you all are missing is that "target" does not interfere with the word "all"

A sliver that gives all slivers +1/+1 does not end when crystillinbe comes into play. All slivers are not targeted they are, as a group, given the ability.

While that's not what I meant, Crypt Slivers are indeed great. Against anyone with a mono-creature deck (like those early players) Regenerate is great. Magma not as much, but with cheapo slivers + Aluren + Other Slivers it works fine.

I still hate slivers, though, regardless of my correctness. ;)

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.

I'm sorry for the confusion....I meant Scythe of the wretched. sorry. Forget banshee's blade.

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:
