The whole horde of all-consuming, ever-evolving, synergistic reptiles thing? Yeah, there is a bit of a resemblance.

I think Slivers were meant to have been man-made though. An attempt to create the ultimate, ever-adapting predator that worked all too well.

Nids look cooler too. Slivers always looked like some sort of deformed Sea Naga or somesuch to me.

no wrong!
Sliver were re-done by the riptide-project-guys. originally they were "normal" and under control by the sliver queen and some kind of hive-intelligence. When the wizards re-did them, they didn't make the sliver queen and thus the sliver just ran amok, until some wizards connected himself with them.
Pretty cool story but I think it isn't written anywhere. would make the coolest movie.

And I think Sliver look cooler-bare necessities: A head, a torso, an arm and a tail. If you take the one Sliver, they all "mutate" to get another arm, poison, get stronger etc. All kinds of cool stuff XD

Broken as HELL.

I'm quite broken, yes.

Before you think about replying, ~~I love you.~~ that has nothing to do with Slivers.

Slivers are those worm things that mutate, right?
Well I don't see no gaunts morphing into Carnifexes in my codex.

I think the main difference is that (almost) every sliver grants all the other some cool ability... And I didn't really want to go for a "oh look how similar"-thread, i just wanted to see if any others here like them as much as I do.

Remember 4th Ed Nidzilla? Fighting it? Fighting a Sliver deck is kinda like that. God I hate them. HATE

My best deck is a pure artifact one, none of my friends like it either since it can churn out myr tokens like crazy and I have the Coat of Arms which basically does for same type creatures what the sliver overlord/legion (I don't remember which) does for slivers. It gives a +1/+1 for every other creature on the field with the same type.

Not the only jerk move in the deck but one of my earliest ones.
