Slivers diversity in Arena
Currently in Arena there are:
159 elf creature cards;
152 zombies;
106 goblins.
Plus spells that create tokens of them or interact specifically with them.
Meanwhile there are only 24 Slivers creatures, and half of them aren't really impressive or overlap with others, plus 1 Land (Sliver Hive) that if it wasn't for the last ability could be easily replaced (Secluded Courtyard, Unclaimed Territory etc), and 1 Instant that creates 2 sliver tokens.
No wonder elf and goblin decks are on the highest tiers of historic, and zombies are so popular, there's so many of them.
Yeah, you can run enchants that reduce costs, or changelings but those aren't Sliver themed, came later and frankly, aren't that useful in Arena's metagame.
WoTC could easily buff Slivers by adding just a few more.
- Crystalline Sliver for shroud
- Muscle or Sinew to help our Predatory with +1/+1s and not make us use Metallic Mimic or Adaptive Automaton
- Crypt to regenerate against the unending mono red burns
and most important of all:
- Sliver Legion seems reasonable in a game where Elf decks run Craterhoof Behemoth, and Angels have... whatever they have that can fill the screen with angels, I don't even read anymore.
Other Slivers would be welcomed (like Harmonic, Shifting, Sidewinder) as well as new ones, or more cards that interact with them, but at the end of the day we just want to have fun with our Slivers and you guys are not helping.
PS. Not even a single Phirexian Sliver in ONE? There's a Masticore and a Jellyfish, but not Sliver?
