From the mtgsalvation spoiler:
Juzam Sliver - 2BB
Creature - Sliver
All Slivers have "At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature deals 1 damage to you".
5/5
Not only are they reprinting Juzam Djinn, they're making it better. Insanity.
This cannot be correct. It must be a joke or something.
Downright nutty. Red Death should run Sedge Sliver + Juzzam Sliver.
Team Info-Ninja: Shhh... We don't exist.
Do you actually believe this card exists. The cards they put up at the same time were unsure, something, and unkown. Those were the card names.
I was kind of hoping the card was actually called "holy shit..."
I don't see why this is good. Can someone explain it to me?
You're so right. They should unban Necropotence too, because seriously, who wants to pay life for cards? The life loss from a few extra Slivers can definitely be worth it if it improves your threats significantly. It's really not hard at all to offset the life loss with... I dunno. Shit, maybe if they printed a card for a creature-based deck that somehow allowed you to gain life for attacking. If they wanted to make it really good, maybe it could act as removal too. And pump. Oh right, Jitte.
Furthermore, the card on its own is tech against CounterSliver. The deck's not that popular now, but it's a solid contender and is gaining popularity. Remember that it causes all your opponent's Slivers to ping them every turn as well. All their threats pump this guy as well.
Because one of Suicide's greatest shortcomings in this format is that, by and large, black creatures suck. This one does not, particularly if you park it alongside other Slivers.I don't see why this is good. Can someone explain it to me?
Doesn't this get worse when you add slivers??
Its not if you own Juzam Djinn. IF you don't, he just got about 90 dollars cheaper. He also if unaffected by King Suleiman, and we all know that guys tech.

I'm not saying that isn't playable, because it certainly is, but it isn't anything close to overpowered, like necropotence.
This is the best card they have previewed so far. By a lot. Kind of sad :/

I was really hoping they would bring back a really effective expensive and classic card. If only Timevault was back......
This is my Signature
Triple Juzam Sliver also < triple Juzam Djinn.
Could be strong with Sedge/Acidic Sliver, though. Who knows.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
I take it back, this is the best card thats been previewed:
'Sudden Stifling'(real name not given) 1U
Instant
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't play spells or activated abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Counter target activated or triggered ability.
Activated or triggered abilities cannot be played by that card until end of turn.
If its real then its pretty kick ass.
