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

Good lord, hovering crabs mutants? Onslaught was weird.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What terrible flavor text, that text could have gone on pretty much any beast ever.

This card is a perfect example of Power surge that has changed Magic in 5 years. Back in the day this was actually a decent card in block constructed. Paying 6 mana for a 3/4 in blue was considered normal. But now the situational evasion isn't worth the casting cost. If this were printed in the current format it would probably cost and have the ability Cannot be Blocked. I do like the changes that Magic has gone through and finally blue creatures are starting to see play.
