A 6/6 that also boosts your other Slivers by a shit ton. For 6.

Yeah. That's good.

At the very worst.

A 6/6 for six.

At best a permanent overrun minus trample.

Wow

It's a 6/6 for 6 that might end the game the turn you play it depending on what other slivers you have out. Yeah, this is good.

Woah this thing is a powerhouse.

6/6 for 6, highly splashable, gives everything else +3/+3.

This will be ender of games for the slivers.

The sliver that even oldschool sliver players cannot ignore.

Love the card, but I'll be covering up the art with a piece of paper, thanks. I'm ok with the new slivers, but what the hell is this. Don't get me wrong, really cool, but not a sliver...

This guy is three Predatory Slivers at once, a 6/6 for 6 by itself, easily splashable, gives all of your Slivers not one, not two, but three Gaea's Anthems at once, and yet the current rating with about 20 votes does not even reach 3.5?!

Does this card get hate-rated for power, for the artwork, or possibly for both?

People would have totally freaked out about this guy if it were printed in earlier blocks like Tempest, Onslaught or even Time Spiral - even though it would have given the boost to your opponent's Slivers as well.

This plus a striking sliver and battle sliver just won me a bunch of games at the prerelease. 2 8/6 first striking gigantic (megantic :) slivers are fun. Even when they use pacifismon it it still boosted my other guys (no one seemed to have doom blade and it would take alot of burn damage to kill it)

In Limited this thing is a beast. In Standard it's certainly worth thinking about if you're running Slivers. Beyond that... it's just too costly. +3/+3 is great and all but I'd rather more smaller, more versatile Slivers to a big fatty that's going to sit in my hand all game. By the time he gets out he's usually either redundant or he isn't boosting enough other creatures. Don't get me wrong, he has field presence and your opponent is going to notice when he hits the table, but I could just as easily play an Overrun and swing for the game.

Don't underestimate the advantage this guy gives slivers... it becomes very hard to deal with if you have no removal.

If Bonescythe didn't finish the game, this guy will.

Well, I wouldn't pute a full playset into a sliver deck, simply because you'd end up with huge clunky creatures on your starting hand that you can't play any time soon. But two or so are solid.

All your slivers are giant trees monsters.

Yeah on his own he's not great. But holy CRAP that is a massive pump for your dudes.

Useful for all those times your sliver deck hasn't already won when it hits 6 mana. Which is how often, exactly?

Actually, I take that back: It's not useful all of those times. If your opponent has lasted that long, it's probably because he has some way of preventing you from attacking at all, in which case this still doesn't help.

A bit slow, but MAN does it feel good to drop this into the middle of a stalled Sliver army.

I seriously underestimated this. I tried it in my Sliver deck and it dropped just as my opponent (playing Selesnya Populate) started populating Wurms like they were Saprolings. This stopped him dead in his tracks.
I thought the cost may have been a bit too high but now I feel it's a trump card that all Slivers should consider.

Love it. Don't think of it as win more, think of it as win now! 4/5

Everyone hates slivers because of the fact that they are no longer squiggly lines. Lets see what we can do with these bad boys...
OK so first off, in standard you have to sliver one drops. The first is obvious.
Galerider Sliver will wreck face in against any deck, giving slivers flying. I assure you that Skylasher will be coming of of sideboard game 2.
OR
We could use Striking Sliver. It is a good one drop and will attract an early removal spell due to annoyance, making there be less removals in an opponenet's hand.
Next turn, Manaweft sliver. In my standard deck, I will always get it in my opening hand/first mull.
Pump out more slivers turn 3, then t4 we have this guy. Soar above opponent's creatures with Mr. Galerider. Protect with Rootborn Defenses(Hive Stirrings, anyone?) or Boros Charm from board wipes. Door of Destinies for extra boom.

Even this sliver falls to Nameless Inversion. Still this guy is REALLY powerful. Wow.

Seriously, did they just combine the words Mega and Gigantic to form a de***ion for this Sliver? Megantic doesn't mean anything in English. It is however an area in Quebec. I guess that's what good poutine does to slivers - https://www.google.com/search?q=megantic&oq=megantic&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1712j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=megantic+definition&revid=645471447
