These slivers, trapped between worlds since the Rathi overlay, are among the last to claim direct lineage from the lost Sliver Queen.

Where it came from
Shadow Sliver was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to be a love letter to the game's history, featuring numerous mechanical callbacks and 'timeshifted' cards that referenced older mechanics. The Sliver creature type, which functions as a hive mind where each individual shares its abilities with others, was central to this expansion's design, reintroducing the popular race with fresh, modern twists.
The card was illustrated by Anthony S. Waters, a prolific artist for the game during this era. Waters opted for an aesthetic that emphasized the creature's ethereal nature, fitting the 'Shadow' ability which allows it to bypass traditional combat by existing in a different plane. The design was well-received by players for its tactical utility in Sliver-themed decks, effectively providing a powerful evasion mechanic that forced opponents to possess shadow-capable creatures of their own.
