What it does
All Sliver creatures have poisonous 1. (Whenever a Sliver deals combat damage to a player, that player gets a poison counter. A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)
"They actually have venom, not poison. If they were poisonous, a single drop would—IT BURNS! IT BURNS!"— Riptide researcher, last words

Where it came from
Virulent Sliver was originally introduced in the 2007 Future Sight expansion for Magic: The Gathering, serving as a mechanical callback to the sliver creature type that shares abilities across a hive mind. This particular iteration, featuring updated artwork by illustrator Kev Walker, was released as part of the Secret Lair series, a line of curated, limited-run cards designed to showcase varied artistic styles outside the game's standard visual canon.
The design for this version emphasizes the sliver's parasitic nature, utilizing high-contrast, visceral imagery typical of Walker’s established aesthetic within the game. The Secret Lair collection was intended to offer collectors aesthetic alternatives to traditional cards, and this specific drop was received by the player community as a striking, albeit grotesque, interpretation of a classic mechanical threat that remains a staple in tribal-focused deck archetypes.
