All Sliver creatures have first strike.
"Keep them at sword's length!" Gerrard's order fell flat as each sliver's talon suddenly grew longer. "Hold on—break out the polearms!"

Where it came from
Talon Sliver was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest set, a pivotal expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore themes of conflict and resource management in the Multiverse. The Slivers, as a creature type, were introduced in this set to showcase a unique hive-mind mechanic where each card in the group grants a shared ability to every other Sliver on the battlefield.
The artwork for Talon Sliver was illustrated by Heather Hudson, whose contributions to the game during the late 1990s helped define the aesthetic of the Tempest block. Her design for the creature emphasizes the organic, predatory nature of the species, featuring the elongated claws and alien silhouette that became iconic for the type. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical utility in aggressive deck builds, solidifying the Slivers as one of the most enduring and recognizable creature factions in the game's history.
