The advantage is that you can use it without having to cast it. It's a sliver tutor just by itself.

The last ruling says: "(...) You can also choose not to find a card, even if there is a Sliver card in your graveyard." The last word must be "library", not "graveyard"...

Sliver tutor! This looks slightly foil.

No matter the color of your sliver deck, you should always run a couple of these. 3 colorless mana for an instant tutor that can't be countered is excellent, and even more awesome is when you have a Quick Sliver on the battlefield so you can instantly cast your newly-tutored sliver.

@Silverware: I'd onlycast this if I'm really in need of an extra creature on the battlefield right then and there, and I can't afford to tutor a Muscle Sliver/Sinew Sliver and cast it instead. But it's nice to know that you can cast it as a creature if need be.

4.5/5 - all sliver decks should run this.

Has anyone ever cast this, instead of just tutorcycling it for 3? Tutorcycling was the best thing ever...

Sliver cycling?!
Now I'm scared.
As if the tribe wasn't scary enough, anyway.

Very nice, though I don't get why it's red... unless it's via magnetism?

4.5/5

To kill a sliver deck:
Step 1: Standardize, naming Slug or something equally degrading. Maybe cat.
Step 2: Activate mistform wakecaster, naming Sliver.
Step 3: Chuckle forbodingly.
Step 4: Kill the upstart fool with his own abilities.
Step 5: Run from the upstarts inevitable violence.

I hate playing against slivers. Therefore i hate this card. (Still giving it a 4 though.)

Really brutal with any of the three legendary slivers and Gemhide / Mana Weft slivers. T4 any of the legendary slivers can be a bad time.

I'm trying to decide whether to run 4 copies in my Pauper RG Sliver deck, or (as I'm doing with other Slivers that don't self-stack) only 2. Having it in play helps me replace my redundant Sliver cards, but it may itself become redundant.

An expensive Fauna Shaman/Survival of the Fittest for only Slivers on a Gray Ogre. Still is a good card even though it offers the effect for twice the cost for a fraction of the options. The number and power of sliver hatebears such as Harmonic Sliver, the awkwardness of most ability granting slivers in multiples, and the strength of having many singular slivers makes even this limited flexibility better or at least more necessary than it might be. To make this card Modern worthy it would need an all sliver combo to tutor up.... which would essentially make Sliver Tribal into a probably worse Birthing Pod deck. This is mostly because, like Survival of the Fittest, Birthing Pod is just way more degenerate.
All in all it still manages to be an exciting common, and that it theoretically could serve as a stand in for some of the most degenerate cards printed makes this a very cute card for the kitchen table. It may not make Spike's heartstrings sing but it has a home, as shown by its surprisingly high rating for its relatively low power level.
