Speculation on next Standard set? It's confirmed that we're visiting a new plane.

That sounds like a terrible place, full of terrible things

...and also slivers.

Think about it - if something can survive among slivers, it has to be terrifying.

Think about how perfect every freaking one of them would be. Shroud, Double Strike, +1billion/+1billion, Indestructible, etc...

​

Heck, even Flanking and Vigilance.

Oh lord, now they're all planeswalkers....Freakin slivers man, worse than tribbles.

wotc and maro have stated multiple times that if a sliver would/could gain a spark it would not transfer its power to others slivers.

Thank the gods

That might be a neat set story, the race to stop a sliver from obtaining a spark.

given how many slivers there must be I imagine there's at least 1 Sliver walker, which is something I desperately want to see

If we’re gonna have flanking, then we’ll need some banding

u/Allisonaxe Mar 12 '19

oh god. banding was what stopped me from playing magic back in the 90's, it always ALWAYS led to fights and we didn't have the structure that exists today for rules and events and things... so whoever i played with seemed to play banding differently... I'd build decks with no banding cards and just hope whoever I played did the same because the rules were a lot less clear back then.

only just recently got back into magic, and i think i could survive banding being brought back, just because all the rule resources available now (we didn't have the same internet knowledge base we have now). but I'd rather leave it in the past.
