SLIVERS.....YEA OR NAY?

               Word has it that the slivers are being revived for the new M14 core set. Word also hasit that mostpeople are kinda upset about the fact that the slivers are coming back. Me on the one hand is pretty happy about the slivers making a comeback. The abilities they have are pretty good for what they are, not to mention having other slivers in the deck will become more powerful than they already are before they even reach your hand.
               
               I've some of the spoilers MTG has on their Facebook, website, and other spoiler pages. Some of them are pretty expensive mana cost to be bringing out, but is their abilities worth the extra mana cost to have in the deck? for some I do think it's worth it, but only for the ones that would make the other slivers more powerful. Ones with the ability to give other sliver vigilance doesnt seem all that worthy of the extra mana cost to bring it out, unless the mana cost is what the power and toughness eqals to, then it's ok (I guess). The ones that would give other slivers hatse or +2/+2 or something like that would be well worth the effort to give mana to get out.

              I've seen in the comments for the slivers on various pages all pretty much stating how much they hate the way the new slivers look. For me I like the way they look, I think they are pretty cool looking. It was the fact that people are hung up on how the slivers have 2 legs instead of one, this doesnt seem to bother me much as the next person. I really worry more about the abilities and power and toughness than the actual artwork. maybe when I have a bit much to drink or something I'll praise the artwork but even then not that much.

              It seems like from what I've seen from the spoilers there could be a good amount of red and white slivers to be able to pull off a nice red/white deck. It also looks like a all green sliver deck might show up as well. but I haven't seen any for black or blue yet, or if they are going to make one for those colors at all. If they do make them for those colors then they might want to surprise us or something (but highly doubt it would be of any kind of surprise at all).


               Before I sign off of here I just want to ask you readers if you like the whole sliver idea coming back or would you rather it stay away? and if you were ever into slivers in the past what color did you use for the deck and how fast can you get a win by?
