Rulings
- : If the creature type of a Sliver changes so it's no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures.
- : Poisonous 1 causes the player to get just one poison counter when a Sliver deals combat damage to them, no matter how much damage that Sliver dealt.
- : A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game as a state-based action, even if no permanents with poisonous are on the battlefield.
- : If a creature has multiple instances of poisonous, each triggers separately.
