Fungus Sliver turns every instance of damage dealt to your Slivers into a permanent +1/+1 counter, snowballing combat into a size advantage that compounds across the whole tribe. The cost is that it does nothing on its own — you need a board of Slivers already taking hits for the engine to matter.

In Commander, Fungus Sliver fits squarely into dedicated Sliver tribal builds where your creatures are both numerous enough and durable enough to survive the damage triggers — it's a value engine in attrition games but a do-nothing in a board wipe meta. In Legacy and Vintage, Sliver strategies are fringe at best, and the four-mana slot competes with faster, more disruptive options; Fungus Sliver rarely sees those tables. Modern Slivers exist as an aggressive tribal deck, but the deck wants to end the game quickly rather than accrue counters over multiple combat steps, making Fungus Sliver too slow for the format's pace.
