Since a search yielded no results, I'll start a new thread here to discuss this format. It's called Sliverocity, and the deal is:
Every creature shares all of its abilities with every other creature.
For example, if Nekrataal, Llanowar Elves and Mudbutton Torchrunner are in play, any creature destroys target nonartifact, nonblack creature when it enters the battlefield, has first strike (which becomes redundant), taps for and deals three damage when it dies.
The main point of this thread is to share experiences with the format and also collect good cards for a Sliverocity Cube. I've built one right after reading the thread by going through my commons and uncommons and thinking "would it be cool if all creatures had this ability?", but I couldn't test it yet.
So, to start discussion: Has anyone already played this format? Does anyone else think it sounds like a lot of fun but hasn't played it yet?
I'll also post some cards that will probably be good Cube material.
I recently read this great article on the mothership:

And became particularly interested in this format:

Some cool things I noticed about the format:
* A Gravecrawler makes blocking impossible, while a Gatecreeper Vine means standstill for the whole board.
* A Diregraf Ghoul is a mini-Kismet for creatures.
* Spark Elemental can wipe the board.
* Aven Squire is the new Sublime Archangel, and Sublime Archangel is...umm...well...let me get my calculator.
* Flameborn Hellion makes the board go wild.
* Blind Zealot makes colors pretty relevant.
And that's just a few of them. I hope it plays as amazing as it sounds.
