This ability is now known as lifelink. Great card and great addon to any sliver deck. 4/5

Zellgadus and Spideredd: This ability is not lifelink because it's a triggered ability, as opposed to lifelink, which is a static ability, so yes, Essence Slivers stack.

The thing is the pamphlet that comes with the premium slivers deck lists it as having lifelink... MaGo changed it in the gatherer with the M10/Zendikar updates obviously after the pamphlet was printed. I have a feeling that they may change it back to lifelink with the worldwake updates.

Doubtful seeing as it's printed only as When it deals damage, instead of lifelink (or one of each). why make another problem involving the rules, like was done to the war hammer.

Wording issues aside, this is a pretty amazing Sliver.

My n00b friend was wondering if slivers that say "All slivers gain X ability/stat" give their stat or bonus to themselves. E.G. does Bonesplitter sliver get +2/0 due to his own effect?

Slivers do effect themselves, and it isn't confusing when you can look at the rulings.

It just gives all slivers lifelink

run 4 of with True Conviction. Magically get all on the field, and swing with a sliver, gaining 5x the damage it deals. unpowered, that's 15. with all 4 slivers swinging, that's 60. and with homing sliver, it really isn't unreasonable. (BONUS- you can also block with a sliver, and even if it breaks, before it dies you gain 15 life.)
EDIT: I forgot double strike. gain 30 life with one attack, 120 with all 4 slivers. my bad.

This is currently not lifelink but a couple years ago it was. I think they changed it along with the M10 rules but don't quote me on that

The worst sliver.

Did anyone realise that this counters your opponent's Plague Sliver assuming someone would actually sideboard them against a sliver deck?

Beautiful card, but this text (and others like it) seriously need some errata. Being a triggered ability Lifelink that stacks is unbearably broken. The amount of arguments this has caused in my group is ridiculous, and I always feel a little bad for siding with the "rules" over playability.
