A deck focused on a Sliver tribal theme would benefit from including Virulent Sliver, as it enhances the overall strategy by adding a poison counter mechanic to all Sliver creatures. While Virulent Sliver is a solid inclusion for such a deck, there are potentially better options like Venom Sliver or Toxic Sliver that offer more impactful abilities. Whether Virulent Sliver should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the Sliver deck in question.

Rules

03/19/21

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.

07/01/13

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.

07/01/13

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.
