I'm guessing the cycle of five uncommons will be monocolor to make the multicolor (presumably 5 color) mythic rare feel more special. Plus this core set is already going to have two multicolor cards, both at mythic, so I'm skeptical that they'll include another five. They probably want to ease into the multicolor core-set idea.
I think the thing of note here is that they're supposed to be strong stand-alone cards. So I imagine that each one will grant an ability that's effective on its own and pretty crazy when you get several together.

All slivers legends are always been 7/7 for WUBRG. They screwed up in m14 by having only one blue and only one black sliver, they won't make sliver affictionados rage by making a WRG or worse a monocolor sliver legend.
It hasn't been said whether or not it's legendary. And there is still a chance it can be a big artifact! (Unlikely, but would be epic to have a massive mythic artifact sliver that gives indestructible.)
I'm sad they decided to make sliver abilities one sided, I made an EDH deck around slivers hug were I turn opponents creatures into slivers until end of turn so they can stand a chance on blocks.. and you cant NOT put in some of these amazing slivers that have been getting printed! >.<
Here is to me hoping that the new playable slivers are more for card draw and other mechanics that I wouldn't push to other players!
To me the best news is the return of old-school art on Slivers. Absolutely hated the new ones. They didn't confirm whether it will only be old-school, but I hope so.
They can't be multicolored. According to the number crunch, card 209 is confirmed to be green and card 212 is confirmed to be an artifact. That only leaves space for a maximum of 2 multicolored cards.
That's too bad.
This would really have played into multi-colored slivers!
This is for the other 5. I'm going to guess that they'll be mult-colored, in ally colors, and will be similar to the ones from Stronghold: Acidic Sliver, Crystalline Sliver, Hibernation Sliver, Spined Sliver, and Victual Sliver...but updated for modern balance.
In the game of Magic, the rules are designed to be broken.

Unless I missed something major.
