Wizards of the Coast 1 Jul 2013

Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn't provide any additional benefit.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jul 2013

If the creature type of a Sliver changes so it's no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Sliver may become lethal if another Sliver leaves the battlefield during that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If Sliver Legion and two other Slivers are on the battlefield, for example, each of them gets +2/+2.
