Except that it wasn't "Strictly" better because it powers up enemy slivers too.

Depending on the slivers, it CAN make a huge difference. I have a casual U/G Sliver control deck involving plenty of counter spells, with Screeching Sliver being the only win condition - I never attack, because of using Slivers to tap things with Telekinetic Sliver and make mana with Gemhide Sliver to fuel counterpsells, and also having Dormant Sliver as a draw engine for Forbid, which prevents me from attacking altogether. Is my deck unique? I doubt it, I'm sure somebody else somewhere had at least some of the same ideas for how to build a control Sliver deck. That applies to making just about any type of deck. But my Sliver deck does play very differently (or, "wildly differently") from your typical Sliver deck. The Slivers you choose to build your deck around do make a difference, if you're actually choosing to build around them rather than just swapping out a random generic aggro sliver for another.

Does anyone else notice this sliver looks very different from all other slivers? That aside, 2 mana for a 2/2 and gets powered up from each other one in the deck is always good.

A good sliver as it adds to your sliver power easily.

I wonder if all Sliver deck players think that their 'Sliver Deck' is unique. For instance if two players randomly play their Sliver decks against each other, do they argue about how each of their decks is fundamentally different than the other? As if the addition or subtraction of a few slivers between their decks makes them just wildly different in both appearance and performance.

I like the ruling for this card. As if "all Sliver creatures" wasn't simple enough.

This and sinew sliver really should have cost 2G and 2W. I need a time travel machine so I can slap silly whoever started this powercreep nonsense.
