Lore

Why it matters

Hivestone is a rare artifact that integrates itself into the battlefield by granting your creatures the Sliver subtype, effectively weaving them into the collective synergy of that specific hive. Its presence turns any creature into a potential recipient of shared abilities, making it a highly tactical tool for players looking to unify their forces under a single, powerful tribal identity.

Card face

What it does

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.

Provenance

Where it came from

Hivestone was originally introduced in the 2007 Magic: The Gathering set titled Planar Chaos. The card was designed to function within the Sliver creature type, allowing non-Sliver creatures to benefit from the various abilities shared among them. This mechanical utility reflects the set's thematic focus on alternate realities and the distortion of established creature archetypes, offering players a tool to weave disparate creature types into a cohesive tactical unit.

The version from Time Spiral Remastered, released in 2021, features the classic card frame aesthetic that pays homage to the original design philosophy of the game. The illustration, created by artist Chippy, maintains the surreal and bio-mechanical appearance synonymous with the Sliver hive mind. This reprint was curated to celebrate the history of the game's most iconic expansion blocks, and it was received by the community as a nostalgic update to a functional artifact that remains a staple for tribal-themed deck building.
