Creatures you control are Slivers in addition to their other creature types.
Rath's evincars used hivestones to control the slivers, but the overlay put their power into unwitting hands. Now the stones make not masters, but slaves.

Where it came from
Hivestone was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set is widely noted for its nostalgia-heavy design, explicitly referencing mechanics and lore from the game's earliest years to celebrate its history. As an artifact with a relatively simple utility, it was designed to interact with 'Sliver' creatures, a iconic hive-mind race that had been absent from standard sets for several years prior to this release.
The card was illustrated by Kev Walker, a prolific artist in the trading card game community. His aesthetic for the Hivestone focuses on a rugged, primordial quality, emphasizing the artifact's role as a source of ancestral power for the Slivers. At the time of its release, the card was received as a functional tool for tribal decks, allowing players to bridge synergy between non-Sliver creatures and the established Sliver mechanics that defined the archetype.
