This is the result of the Riptide Laboratory wizards' first attempt to revive the Sliver species. Slivers came to Dominaria from Rath when the plane was overlaid onto Dominaria during the Phyrexian Invasion. It's kind of like a preview of things that were to come later on in the Onslaught Block, as later experiments successfully revive Slivers and we see them in Legions and Scourge.

The art is really cool. Shame about the rest :(

Should be cheaper so that you can take advantage of some early damage before you opponent gets their board in order, or it should be stronger so that your efforts to keep all their elves or what have you off the field are worth more than 3 damage on turn 7.

Too situational and in Onslaught limited, chances are the unblockability requirements would not have been met...

This card has its effect, art, and name going for it. But its CC is way too damn much.

I don't understand the flavor of this card! Why not just give it unblockable?

This card was almost okay when Human wasn't a creature type.
It should have been a 3/6 or a 4/4 at the time. Today, it should be the same, but cost UUU.
Anyway, I love the art.

Good lord, hovering crabs mutants? Onslaught was weird.
