Massively discounted Dash? That lasts longer? That needs to be xx3RRRR in mana cost at least, or have a clause where you pay mana based on the creatures' normal mana costs. It's just broken.

At the beginning of your upkeep, all creatures you control gain one of the following until your next upkeep:
Trample
Banding
First Strike
Vigilance
Battle Cry
4/4
First and most obviously, it should be formatted with commas, not new paragraphs, just as space saving. Secondly, Banding has been banished to the deepest deapths of the dustbin of history for good reasons. Secondly, the ability spread doesn't seem to match the mana costs. Trample is green, which is just out of place on a Boros colored card. Banding and vigilance are White, Battle Cry could be red but it's most known for Signal Pest which isn't associated with any color, and First Strike could equally be red or white.
CMC seems correct for the P/T and the ability, but I think the color distribution is off.

My offering:
Hive, the Interplanar Swarm WUBRG
Tribal Plansewalker - Sliver Hive
+2: Put two 1/1 colorless sliver tokens onto the battlefield
-3: Search your library for a sliver card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library
-11: You get an emblem with "Sliver creatures you control get +1/+1 for each other sliver you control"

So my opponent has manifested a card from the top of their library, turning it into a colorless 2/2 creature. I cast Break Open on it, and it's a sorcery, which one doesn't matter. What happens to it?
Someone plays Bribery targeting me, taking my Sliver Overlord. Then I play Constricting Sliver targetting the card that got stolen. When Constricting Sliver leaves the battlefield, who's control does the Overlord enter under?
Shandalar Slivers considered, the consistent complaints about how it's ruining magic are becoming even more irksome.
It's not ruining magic. It's just that it kinda sucks to have obviously-not-slivers posing as slivers. Hell, we're not even demanding that the new slivers be strictly morphological the same species as the old slivers, or we wouldn't have loved the art on Hivelord. But the Predator Style "slivers" are so obviously not slivers that it is incredibly jarring and irritating and takes me out of the game.
This is a good new sliver design. What the M14 slivers should have been. It's not the old slivers, but it's close enough to fool people who don't know enough about biology, which is good enough for me.

Okay. I haven't been playing recently, so could you explain why he's more than just a sideboard card against Burn?
Anything I miss, or cards I should edit into the Primer?
