Slivers make a surprising return in Magic: The Gathering's Edge of Eternities set after a long absence.
The new set introduces only one sliver card, Thrumming Hivepool, which is a powerful artifact but not a creature.
Although slivers do not officially appear in the storyline of Edge of Eternities, hints suggest their presence and a potential return in a future set.
Slivers draw inspiration from a sci-fi trope of creatures linked by a hive mind, with their origins in Magic: The Gathering lore tied to a mysterious evolution and takeover narrative.
