What it does

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.)

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-07-01

    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.

  • 2021-03-19

    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.

  • 2021-03-19

    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.

  • 2021-03-19

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

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Virulent Sliver

6 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Virulent Sliver — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
