Psionic Sliver is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
All Sliver creatures have ": This creature deals 2 damage to any target and 3 damage to itself."
How it works : Psionic Sliver
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the creature type of a Sliver changes so it’s no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures.
No other card is named in this ruling.
