Description
Released in 2006, the Magic: The Gathering Time Spiral set reimagined classic cards from the game's early history with a distinctive retro aesthetic. Gemhide Sliver, card number 196, is a green creature that embodies the set's focus on the Sliver hive. As a foil common, it features the shimmering finish that collectors often seek to distinguish it from the standard nonfoil versions found in booster packs. The Gemhide Sliver is valued by traders for its straightforward yet impactful ability: any Sliver on the battlefield can tap to produce one mana of any color. This versatility makes it a staple for builders constructing decks around the Sliver tribe. For completists, acquiring the foil version of this card is a specific goal, as it requires opening a foil pack from the Time Spiral expansion. Whether you are hunting for the full set or building a competitive tribal deck, this card remains a recognizable and functional component of the Time Spiral collection. Traders can easily identify it by its card number and the iconic Sliver artwork typical of the set's design language.
