Slivers rightfully earned their enduring popularity by giving you the best of it all: Slivers care about Slivers, grant their abilities to all the rest, and encourage you to build up a deck full of them simply by finding more. One of my cards I read multiple times and couldn't fathom how it was remotely useful- Duplicity-but another blue card tipped me off to something different going on. The exact details and contents are lost from my memory, and so are most of the cards I opened. I can vividly recall the moment I pulled the wrapper off the box, becoming more engrossed as I read every page of the included "storybook" that pulled me into the journey of the Weatherlight crew on the plane of Rath. That box of Magic cards was called a "Starter Deck" and sounded exactly like what I was doing. It was purple, with a mean-looking dragon looking back at me underneath a radical set name: Tempest. But it was a larger package that caught my eye. I looked over the booster packs and recognized the names of sets I'd been playing with: Mirage, Visions, Fifth Edition. I wasn't exactly sure what to get, and this was long before I had fast internet and plenty of ways to see what was out there. While I learned the game-and received a handful of cards-from my friend at school, there was a year or so before I had the opportunity to make my very first Magic purchase.
