One mana red sliver

[Guli]

Last night i was brainstorming with a friend about a  cc sliver. They haven't printed it yet. Mountainwalk would be pretty useless. Then my friend came up with an interesting idea.

Lackey Sliver

All sliver gain: whenever this sliver deals damage to an opponent, its controller may put a sliver card from his hand into play.

1/1

What do you guys think?

[Darkenslight]

Strictly better than Lackey, as with each added Sliver, it gets stronger.

Can you imagine this opening?

T1 this
T2 Haste Sliver, swing, put in Might Sliver and Fury Sliver (-3)
T3 Swing, win.

Maybe if it cost  , but not as a one-drop.

I don't see how this could possibly be fair at a cost of .  Looking over the various red one drops that have been printed, there don't seem to be too many that would easily lend themselves to becoming Slivers without an increase in cost.  Even the lowly Raging Goblin tacked on to his cost when it becomes Heart Sliver.  Kird Sliver, Sliver Fanatic, Sliver Welder-- any of these seem seriously undercosted, and the ones that seem fair seem unexciting.  Although Sliver Balloon Brigade sure would be entertaining.

Card Name:
Bone Shard Sliver
Mana Cost:
Red
Converted Mana Cost:
1

Types:
Creature — Sliver
Card Text:
All Sliver creatures get +1/+0.
P/T:
0 / 1

Making it a 1/1 (2/1 after the ability) would be extremely strong, but 2/1's for 1 with no draw back are a big deal, and this is a bonus to all other slivers.

I agree that Lackey would be abnormally overpowered.

I actually think a 1/1 with Bone Shard ability (so 2/1 for R) is fine. Strong, yes, but a 2/x for 1cc with a drawback is almost not good enough for standard these days.

Why not a landfall sliver?

Landfall - +1/+1 ability to all slivers...Could do some serious damage.

[Wagner]

Keeping the intent of the original card and as a one drop, I think if would still be strong, but fair with an activation cost of 2. You can still drop a free Sliver on turn 2, but that costs you your 2 drop, and you can't just drop your team whenever you want.

If not, would a Lackey sacrifice make it fairer? If it's not blocked, you sac it and put a Sliver into play, he is still good, put if you use it the first time, he's gone and your other slivers don't get the ability.

[Matt]

I kind of like the sacrifice ability.

[Harlequin]

Sliver Prospector
Sacrifice a Sliver: Add to your mana pool
1/1

Maybe?

[zeus-online]

Prospector looks alright....Good enough that it might see play, but not too strong.

I still like my landfall ability though (Although it could be absurdly good to be honest..)

[Killane]

the sacrifice lackey ability seems fine. I actually really like it.
