Giver of Runes is nice for decks that want a 2nd mom, I guess
The First Sliver is means you can cast your whole library in a food chain deck without the need to run allies or whatever, just pick whatever wincon you feel like.
Ranger-Captain of Eos is awesome for chord-type decks. If I ever put together another one he's definitely going in, he can grab a Walking Ballista or Viscera Seer if you need that while also protecting your combo
Goblin Engineer seems decent, I'm not sure where or if I want to run it but it's an interesting card

I mean, it's Preordain with flashback (increasing it's cost to compensate for the upside)
Yup, psying 1U upfront for the effect is okay, I'll still play it somewhere but I'm not very happy spending 4U at sorcery speed to Preordain unless I really need it. For me to be excited about it at least the flashback would have to be at instant speed. I prefer Impulse over this at 1U, or Preordain and Ponder at U of course.

The whiffs of the back room trading around this with all the other Lord creeping up in price is also a thing that leaves a bad taste in mouth irt to new Slivers.
We've got a couple "for each card you've drawn this turn" effects now. I'm hoping there some kind of big payoff card and it isn't all just meant for cycling in limited.

And again we'll see the cycle of People build Slivers -> People realize Slivers really aren't fun on any commander table -> People franatically try to sell their Slivers -> New Slivers get spoiled -> People build Slivers.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
I don't get the hype for the cascade sliver... isn't it the worst sliver commander after sliver legion? sliver overlord can grab every other legendary and does nasty things with amoeboid changeling sliver queen is the best for combos sliver hivelord cover the deck's biggest flaw (weakness to wrath) and has wonderful abs

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

Ok, but none of those slivers really do what slivers do. Slivers aren't about oppressive Mind Control, or about 2 card infinite combos, or about resilience. Sliver's are about getting a field full of creatures that make each other into collectively the most convoluted possible creature. And the way to do that is play more slivers. This new one turns all your slivers into 2-5 slivers depending on your luck, which is exactly what a sliver player wants in life. More slivers with more abilities to staple to each other.

Yeah, Sisay, Weatherlight Captain is yet another 5C commander capable of grossness. I'm sure there'll be some cool builds, but there will undoubtedly be some straight up BS too.
It's very good, though. I'm just not looking forward to seeing it literally everywhere.
Tazri was an interesting design...and now we suddenly get a flood of these kind of abilities. Not a fan.

I can't play that Sisay, but I may have to stockpile a copy just in case wizards does give me 3-color partners and I can make my legendary banding deck 5 color.

Yea cheating out legendaries like this super early
Well, you're gonna need to pump her to get eldrazi in play. In a vacuum the best she can drop into play is 7CMC. Really not sure how she's gonna drop Brisela into play, either. Still, I get the excitement. I'm not a fan, but I bet there's a whole lot of people out there who will be.

Oh I’m aware
But reminder there’s beyond countless ways to get her to that power fast

Force of Virtue is awful, sadly. I'm hoping the red one will be better.
