Synchronous Sliver gives your entire Sliver army vigilance, letting every attacker stay back to block — a genuine, immediate board-wide effect. The five-mana cost is steep for what is purely a defensive tax, so it earns its slot only in dedicated Sliver decks that need the extra layer of protection.

Commander is where Synchronous Sliver belongs: tribal synergy is at its deepest there, and a vigilance anthem across a wide board can swing combat math in your favor for the rest of the game. In Pauper, Slivers are a real deck and vigilance has fringe applications, but five mana is a lot to ask in that format's faster games. Legacy and Vintage Sliver lists exist but lean on cheaper, more explosive pieces — Synchronous Sliver is essentially never played in either. Modern Slivers similarly prioritize low-curve threats, leaving this card on the outside looking in.

Price Context
Current price
$0.36 bulk tier
At $0.36, Synchronous Sliver is pure bulk — easy to acquire as a throw-in or cheap single. Bulk tribal pieces like this hold their floor as long as Sliver decks remain popular in Commander, but don't expect the price to move.
