About Essence Sliver

Essence Sliver, Creature — sliver, designed by Glen Angus first released in Feb, 2003 in the set Legions and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 116.59.

The Essence Sliver card would benefit a Sliver tribal deck that relies on overwhelming opponents with a swarm of Sliver creatures. While the lifegain ability is decent for survivability, it may not be considered a top-tier option compared to other Sliver cards like Crystalline Sliver or Sliver Legion, which offer more impactful effects on the game. Whether Essence Sliver should see play depends on the overall strategy and synergy of the Sliver deck in question.
