Dormant Sliver

Description

The Dormant Sliver is a distinct creature card from the 2021 Time Spiral Remastered set, identified by card number 250 and set code TSR. As an Uncommon rarity within this reprint collection, it serves as a notable entry for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game who appreciate the strategic depth of the Sliver archetype. The card features a mana cost of {2}{G}{U} and boasts a mana value of 4, representing a balanced investment of resources for players seeking to control the board state. Mechanically, the Dormant Sliver introduces a synergistic effect that benefits the entire hive. All Sliver creatures gain defender, allowing them to block without attacking, which provides a sturdy defensive line. Additionally, every Sliver on the battlefield triggers a card draw ability when it enters the battlefield. This creates a compelling loop where deploying multiple Slivers can rapidly replenish a player's hand while simultaneously securing the board. The card’s color identity spans Green and Blue, reflecting its hybrid nature of protection and resource generation. Designed by artist Lars Grant-West, the Dormant Sliver captures the essence of the Sliver species' collective consciousness. The flavor text references Rukarumel's field journal, describing a period of aetheric fertility where reproduction takes precedence over feeding. This narrative context adds depth to the card's presence in the Time Spiral Remastered release, appealing to collectors who value both gameplay utility and lore integration. For those building a comprehensive collection of the Time Spiral Remastered set, this card represents a key piece of the creature slate. Its unique interaction between defense and card advantage makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering library, bridging the gap between strategic gameplay and collector interest in the Sliver tribe.
