About Constricting Sliver

Constricting Sliver, Creature — sliver, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Jul, 2014 in the set Magic 2015 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 12.28. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck focused on Sliver creatures that utilize powerful enter-the-battlefield effects would benefit from Constricting Sliver, as it offers valuable removal potential against opposing creatures. However, the high mana cost may be a limiting factor, and other options like Acidic Sliver or Crystalline Sliver could provide stronger abilities for the deck. Constricting Sliver could still see play in certain Sliver-themed strategies, but its effectiveness may require careful consideration of the overall deck strategy and mana curve.

Rules

07/18/14

Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like indestructible and the ability granted by Belligerent Sliver, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.

07/18/14

Constricting Sliver gives Slivers you control an ability that causes a zone change with a duration, a newer style of ability that’s somewhat reminiscent of older cards like Oblivion Ring. However, unlike Oblivion Ring’s abilities, this ability creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the creature when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to the battlefield immediately after the Sliver leaves the battlefield.

07/18/14

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t be returned to the battlefield.

07/18/14

If a Sliver you control leaves the battlefield, only the card that particular Sliver exiled will return to the battlefield. Each card exiled by another Sliver will remain exiled until that Sliver leaves the battlefield.

07/18/14

In a multiplayer game, if the Sliver’s owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.

07/18/14

The exiled card will return to the battlefield under its owner’s control.

07/18/14

The Sliver that enters the battlefield is the source of the ability that exiles the creature. For example, if a blue Sliver enters the battlefield under your control, the ability can target and exile a creature with protection from white.
