Reflex Sliver

Reflex Sliver was originally introduced in the 2007 set Legions, a block defined by its focus on tribal synergy and creature-heavy gameplay. As a member of the Sliver creature type, the card was designed to grant the 'haste' ability to all Slivers, fitting into the established mechanical identity of the hive-mind race that shares abilities across the battlefield. The design intent was to provide a tactical speed boost for aggressive strategies, allowing players to bypass summoning sickness and overwhelm opponents during the combat phase.

The version from Time Spiral Remastered, released in 2021, features updated card frames intended to evoke the nostalgia of the original era while utilizing modern printing technology. The artwork maintains the insectoid, bio-mechanical aesthetic characteristic of Slivers, reflecting the evolution of the creature design over nearly two decades of Magic: The Gathering history. This reprint was curated for the set to provide players with a functional staple for tribal decks, receiving a positive reception from collectors who value both the gameplay utility and the cohesive visual history of the Sliver line.
