Carte Magic Virulent Sliver

Virulent 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 poisonous 1. (Whenever a Sliver deals combat damage to a player, that player gets a poison counter. A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)

How it works : Virulent Sliver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Poisonous 1 causes the player to get just one poison counter when a Sliver deals combat damage to them, no matter how much damage that Sliver dealt.

    Card named in this ruling

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game as a state-based action, even if no permanents with poisonous are on the battlefield.

    Card named in this ruling

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature has multiple instances of poisonous, each triggers separately.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· 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.
