    M14 - Slivers - Possible Sliver Queen Reprint - Reserved List?

    So, apparently we are getting slivers in M14 - http://instagram.com/p/Y_JOI8lqBl/# - and one of the teaser images was this: http://instagram.com/p/Y_F7iRlqMn/

    Any chance they are reprinting Sliver Queen?

    Most of the 'Ban brainstorm!' arguments are based on the logic that 'more different cards should get played in Legacy', as though the success or health of the format can be measured by the portion of cards that are available and see play. This is an idiotic metric.

    Wasn't Sliver Queen recently printed as an oversized card? In Commander's Arsenal or something?

    Could be alluding to that.

    Also, since when do Slivers have legs?

    EDIT: Also, the Reserved List is set in stone. They're not going to break it.

    Were the Commander's Arsenal oversized cards foil? I haven't seen any so I wouldn't know but the Queenie sure does look foil there.

    They were exactly like the oversized Commanders from the previous Commander product.

    There was a clarification on Twitter that Sliver Queen is not being reprinted. There should be a new forum rule: from now on, the answer to any question about breaking the Reserved List is automatically, "No, the List is not going anywhere." No amount of wishful thinking will change that.

    EDIT: Christ, Slivers-as-knockoff-Predators is so fucking retarded.

    Yeah I figured as much. There was no way in hell they were going to go ahead and give Sliver Queen a reprint, though how bout some speculation on a new 5 color sliver lord?

    And yeah, next thing you know we're going to have Xenomorphs so they can do battle. ...Actually from a flavor perspective that sounds pretty cool.

    Time to sell my collection. WotC finally ran out of real ideas.

    WHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES IT HAVE LEGS AND SHIT. That's just silly.

    I don't understand any real reason to do another round of Slivers. Every tribe that's worth its salt is already doing exactly what Slivers do, and generally with less of an implicit requirement to be in 3 colors. Why bother, except to dick with your own manabase to play extra Lords?

    It is interesting to note that the spoiled Sliver - if it is real - only boosts your own Slivers. That is not typical Sliver behavior; I remember Ward Sliver being kind of a big deal* because it could lopside a Sliver v. Sliver matchup in a way that other Slivers really couldn't do. But again, that's something which generally only the playable tribes are doing already, so that's yet another strange question mark about "why Slivers".

    * - that is to say, big deal conceptually. As a card, I do not think that Ward Sliver was ever actually all that playable, just interesting for having the potential to open up a real alpha strike in a Sliver-on-Silver mirror.

    Slivers are popular. Or rather, popular among some people and reviled among others. If there's any creature type that's going to make people sit up and take notice of a set, it would probably be Slivers.

    I logged in specifically to find this thread after I saw them spoiled. I have strong opinions when it comes to Slivers.

    Sentinel Sliver might be playable.

    The rest of them are either trash, or in the wrong color.
