Plague Sliver

Description

Released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral set, the Plague Sliver stands out as a formidable black creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This card, identified as number 124 with the set code TSP, features a striking foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. Illustrated by Dave Allsop, the card depicts a powerful Sliver with a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} and a robust 5/5 power and toughness. In gameplay, Plague Sliver contributes to the iconic Sliver tribal strategy, where each Sliver shares abilities with the entire hive. This card imposes a shared upkeep cost, dealing 1 damage to its controller at the beginning of their upkeep, reflecting the flavor that a sliver shares everything with its hive—even its afflictions. This mechanic adds a strategic layer to decks built around Sliver creatures, making it a notable inclusion for players exploring the Time Spiral format. The foil finish and rare status make this card a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection, particularly for those who appreciate the intricate design and thematic depth of the Sliver tribe.
