This card is epic...play sliver overlord to snatch a platinum angle and watch your opponent(s) cry.

Many of your slivers have power/toughness ratios that match other slivers, this will take full advantage of that.

@mlanier131: Did you read the card? Same combined P/T. The angel is a 4/4. Overlord is 7/7. 8=\=14.

Unfortunately, if you have a Muscle Sliver and a Might Sliver in play, there is nothing in the premium sliver deck that you can search for. Each creature gets +3/+3, meaning Wild Pair will be checking either a 4/4, 5/5 or 6/6 power/toughness. This happened to me, but luckily, I was able to sac my Muscle Sliver to my Necrotic Sliver before Wild Pair resolved. This allowed me to search for a Fury Sliver (3/3) and end the game.
So in this particular deck, Wild Pair will not always be effective. However, there are a variety of ways to control (at instant speed) which slivers are on the board. I would prefer to have Sliver Queen or Sliver Legion instead, but Wild Pair is fun, and certainly can be useful.
an extremely powerful card, especially with sliver decks. Once you have this, Heart Sliver, Gemhide Sliver, and a Sliver Overlord or Distant Melody, you can virtually summon half your deck in a few turns (since most slivers are either 1/1, 2/2, or 3/3).
I use this in my Animar EDH deck for obvious reasons. Today I discovered that Rage Thrower and Skullmulcher share the same P+T. My opponents died that turn.
To simplify, I want to know if the +3/+3 from Crucible limits my searches to creatures that are around 7/7 and so on.

To everyone gushing about how well this works with Slivers: it doesn't, or at least it works in a very limited way. It checks the power and toughness of the creature as it is on the field: in other words, your Muscle Sliver can't fetch itself, and if you use it to fetch a Watcher Sliver (2/2 while in your library), you'll have even more problems trying to fetch other Slivers.
@Kaixe-Rho: Hoarding Dragon would enter the battlefield as a 7/7, so you'd search your library for a Karrthus.
Oh, Time Spiral block, how much I love thee.
This card is awesome in Commander/EDH in about two billion different ways if you spend five minutes adjusting your creature list, specially with Riku of Two Reflections, even if he isn't your general.
I'll even risk saying this will probably win you the game if it stays.
The only possible issue is that you have to cast the creature from your hand, so no shenanigans with suspend, Intet, Garruk's Horde, etc.
In other formats? Fun in casual, if you have game-ending 7 mana creatures or build some combo deck around it.

Any idea how this plays out with quicksilver amulet? My first thinking is it depends on the wording. "cast" or "put into play". Seems like a quick easy way to fatties out early on, if it's legit.

This card is awesome fun in casual. 1-drop elves tutor out Elvish Piper, Rhys, the Redeemed , Krosan Beast, etc. And now with the Piper on the board, pipe out a nuke, and tutor out another one with the same total P/T.

I love how for the ruling about negatives, it specifically says -1/3.

Taking you guys way back here, but Viashivan Dragon. Actually, any creature with firebreathing is really nice with this, as the creature's power and toughness total are checked upon resolution, right? So that lets you tutor up basically any creature you want if you have the appropriate mana.

@MindAblaze I don't think your Mayael the Anima EDH commander is going to work very well with this card. You need to pay attention to the wording. Wild Pair requires you to play the creature FROM YOUR HAND to trigger the effect. If you're revealing cards from the top of your library and then putting them onto the battlefield, you're not meeting the conditions for the trigger.
Improbable Combo: Have Wild Pair out. You have at least 6 mana. Cast Master Biomancer (P/T = 2/3), pair with another Master Biomancer (P/T = 2/3, but gets 2 counters from the other Biomancer). Cast Sage of Hours (P/T = 1/1, but gets 6 counters from the Biomancers), pair with Novablast Wurm (P/T = 7/7, but gets 6 counters from the Biomancers).
Take an extra turn. Destroy all other creatures and attack with your 13/13.

@Zosk: But with two Muscle Slivers it can happen.
Which two creatures are represented in the art?
And no, it is not my mother
Answer: Verdeloth The Ancient and Krosan Tusker!!!

That being said, it's very useful with a deck full of "bears". Ashcoat Bear and Whitemane Lion especially can work wonders with this card, just pumping out utility 2/2's. That would include guys like Avalanche Riders, Qasali Pridemage, Accorder Paladin, Wall of Blossoms, or Man-O'-War.

Sorry, but nice try.
@ Fenizrael
I know this is a crazy concept, but casting creatures is probably a good idea too...
Colossus of Akros fishes out Progenitus
Knight Exemplar fishes out Knight Exemplar
Have Wild Pair out. You have at least 6 mana.
Cast Master Biomancer (P/T = 2/3), pair with another Master Biomancer (P/T = 2/3, but gets 2 counters from the other Biomancer).
Cast Sage of Hours (P/T = 1/1, but gets 6 counters from the Biomancers), pair with Novablast Wurm (P/T = 7/7, but gets 6 counters from the Biomancers).
