What? Weren't Slivers M14's thing? Yes, they were, but I didn't want people who made Sliver decks in M14 to never get any new toys to play with. Because Slivers don't reside on Theros, M15 was the only other chance we had to get new Slivers into Standard alongside Galerider Sliver, Predatory Sliver, and the rest of the M14 crew. There is a cycle of five uncommons, many of which play well on their own and are devastating in combination, as well as a new mythic rare Sliver that every Sliver aficionado has been waiting for.
What do you guys think this new mythic rare sliver will look like?
I'll give it a try:
Hiveheart SliverWUBRG Legendary Creature - Sliver
Hexproof
When Hiveheart Sliver enters the battlefield, gain control of all Slivers on the battlefield.
Hiveheart Sliver has the abilities of all Slivers in all graveyards. Individual Slivers are born and die, but the Hive never forgets. 7/7
Hmmmm why do I get the feeling we'll get trolled by WotC... lol
And Aaron Forsythe has the audacity to call it new!
Perhaps it might have the Horde of Notions activated ability, considering some of the feel-bad when you have to sacrifice the slivers to get an effect.
Sliver Convocation2WUBRG
Legendary Creature - Sliver
Convoke (Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for 1 or one mana of that creature's color.)
Slivers you control have +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures tapped to pay for Sliver Convocation. 7/7

It'll probably look like the M14 Slivers. Which, you know, will result in people going through the same argument we've had a year ago over the new Sliver look.
Oh, you were asking what the card does? Convoke fits the Sliver mentality, and giving all Slivers you control convoke would be insanely nutty.
Would love if it made 1/1 colorless Sliver tokens as well, just for more bodies to get the bonuses you'll probably have (and more bodies to Convoke your incoming Slivers - you know, like Sprout Swarm for Slivers!). Something like 3: Put a 1/1 colorless Sliver creature token onto the battlefield would be fine.
Wouldn't convoke for Slivers more or less play a lot like Gemhide Sliver? Yeah, you can play Slivers and convoke them immediately, but aside from that...
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Convoke replacing Gemhide Sliver is the point. Gemhide sliver is powerful but can really slow down slivers since you could potentially have faster things for turns 1-3. However, if you have a Mythic sliver with 5CC for Convoke, you could play that turn 3 for a very large beast.
Whenever another nontoken Sliver creature you control dies,
put a token onto the battlefield that is a copy of that creature. 4: put a token copy of another target Sliver onto the Battlefield.

Hmm, it could be strange/fun with a Wild Pair-sliver general. However it may function too closely to Sliver Overlord.

Whenever a Sliver enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a sliver creature card with the same (total power and toughness/CMC) and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.
7/7
If it mustn't be too closely related to existing Sliver generals (tutoring, controlling, buffing power/toughness, spawning tokens) and neither the existing sliver mechanics it might be a simple reanimation.

After seeing the Darksteel Sliver idea above, I went in a similar direction. I still find it HIGHLY suspicious that Darksteel Forge was reprinted in M14 with a pretty light artifact set in RTR/Theros blocks.

that would be fine and good but taking control of all slivers wouldnt do much since no one else plays them. so in the end your taking control of your own creatures
