From what we know, Slivers are returning for sure in M14. We know each color gets 2 common Slivers, 1 uncommon Sliver, and one rare Sliver. Additionally, we know that there will be a mythic rare 5 color legendary Sliver. I wanted to predict some designs for what I believe we might see, based on what we have already seen.

These are just my predictions, and I'd like to know what everyone else thinks we will see! What do you think? Discuss!
Bland enough to be feasible in a core set (no offense).
I support this theory, but the rare red sliver doesn't quite feel fight. I would assume it would maybe be: "Slivers you control have: "1R: This Sliver fights target non-Sliver creature." Since they're trying to push fight a little more, and it feels like a more rare appropriate ability for a core set. At least to me.

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"

i think that the blue ones are all cool, but are pushed a little too hard. i think the blue uncommon one will give hexproof and be ridiculously overcosted. but the mill one is great, i just feel that it is too overpowered at common. imagine having two of them out and playing a sliver? thats 6 cards, and the next is gonna be 12. it would get out of hand too fast at common. The blue one that draws you cards would be much better at rare.

I predict the five-colored Sliver will reference both Sliver QueenandSliver Overlord by producing tokens and optionally tutoring for further Slivers.
Or a straight reprint of Sliver Overlord since it's available and all they really would need to do is change the art to a Geiger-Xenomorph to fit with the new Hive.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.

Might as well just staple Sliver Overlord and Sliver Queen together to an extent:
"Slivers you control get +1/+1

Whenever a Sliver enters the battlefield under your control, draw a card
Glare of Subdual sliver- Tap a sliver you control; tap or untap target permanent.
Hexproof sliver
Deathtouch sliver
That green sliver that gives all slivers +1+1 might see modern play for cheap sliver deck.

Thank you Xenphire for the signature!
but it will turn all your slivers into defenders and cost 2UG - wait... that sounds like Dormant Sliver?!
