The piece of sliver evasion in the deck.

Great sliver especially since it has a low mana cost

Way to overpowered of a card. Even by itself it is worth the mana. 1 for flying and 1 for 1/1.

Pure ridiculousness in a Sliver deck. I think the only reason this card got printed at 2 mana is because your most likely going to drop it for the win anyway, so its mana cost doesn't quite matter. Still, on the off chance of a Mana Leak/Rune Snag/etc., the low mana cost is still a great benefit.
Generally, you're better off dropping a Spinneret Sliver instead of this guy early game because the Spinneret doesn't provide evasion and therefore won't get nuked the second it hits the field.

I like Shadow Sliver or two-headed sliver to punch through for my poison victory via stacked Virulent slivers, but this is just totally crazy.

When alone, dies to Storm Crow. Very, very good nonetheless.

I still prefer Shadow Sliver as the "now I kill you" turn drop, it's MUCH harder to stop in combat, but if the attack fails you're probably dead.

@thewalkingdead It's meant to be a five colored creature type. Get over the fact that you lost to it once upon a time.

You want to drop this right before a major attack. They are on the ropes and figure they can block and play accordingly, then you play this guy.

Re: They're meant to be a five-color type.

Actually, going white-blue and nothing else is a totally valid sliver strategy.

Sidewinder Sliver and Plated Sliver for one-drops. Sinew Sliver for muscle. Crystalline Sliver to protect them and of course this card to finish your opponent off.

Slivers were always about evolution.
In M14, Galerider Sliver sees the dawn of the day, and it absolutely out-slivers Winged Sliver.

You could call it Natural Selection, if one were to use some flavorful euphemism for power creep.
