Poultice Sliver gives every Sliver you control a tap ability to regenerate another Sliver — blanket regeneration on a two-mana body is a real defensive layer for tribal boards. The cost is that regeneration requires both tapping the Sliver and paying two mana per activation, which means it taxes your mana hard under pressure.

In Commander, Poultice Sliver earns its slot in any dedicated Sliver tribal deck — regeneration across an entire board means a single wrath becomes significantly less devastating, and the effect scales with how many Slivers you have in play. In Legacy and Vintage, Slivers operate as a fringe tribal aggro strategy, and Poultice Sliver rarely makes the cut there because those formats punish the two-mana-per-regeneration cost; you want to be pressing tempo, not spending mana reactively. Pauper is the most interesting non-Commander home: Sliver tribal is a real budget archetype there, and Poultice Sliver's defensive role is more meaningful when your creatures can't be replaced by raw card power.

Price Context
Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, Poultice Sliver is firmly bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the effect. It's unlikely to move; regeneration has been power-crept by indestructible and the card has no cross-format demand to prop up the price.
