Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
Specifically, each Sliver in Time Spiral and Planar Chaos derive their ability from a previously printed card.
This Sliver is referencing the vampire's iconic blood-drinking ability, exemplified by Sengir Vampire.

How awesome would it have been if this guy gave flying as well?

Combo with Toxin Sliver and Talon Sliver for your stopping power... Man, do people really look at sliver cards as aggro instead of combo?? Splash blue for Winged Sliver and you have a deck of Sengir Vampires that have first strike and deathtouch. Derp?

Except that Quilled Sliver doesn't deal combat damage by tapping...

A sliver that stands completely on its own, solid all around card.

The wonderful thing about slivers
is slivers are wonderful things
their bodies are made out of sinew
they've got muscles on top of their wings
they're hasted, trample, shroud, and shadow
plus one
plus one
plus one
but the most wonderful thing about slivers is
there...
is more than one!
post this on all sliver cards :)

black version of fungus sliver, arguably better because it has 1 more power and toughness and gets 1/1 counters, but the counters on both are a little hard to get because slivers start small, and are easily killed and don't have great stopping power.
