Knocking on Heaven's Door [MtG/Multicross/SI]

Reader mode
You kill the player running slivers quick before they become a tide.

Notice they didn't send just a couple Planeswalkers against him. Crush a Sliver infestation hard and fast or die.

If you still don't know exactly what they are each sliver adds its power to all slivers. Have enough slivers on the field of battle and they become titans of the battlefield.

Imagine Tyranids...all the Tyranids. Now imagine Tyranids that can use magic, that are even more adaptable than Warhammer version. Hell, these things are also often precogs. They adapt to face the things that they haven't even met yet. And for each adaptation one of them gets, every single one of them gets. In Warhammer the Nids have destroyed entire galaxies. In Magic, Slivers have the potential to destroy entire Planes, despite multiple 'Walkers trying to prevent them from doing just that. And that's the unintelligent, baseline slivers acting on pure instinct and savagery. Now, imagine that with the intelligence, creativity and munchkining of a human behind it. That's bad enough. Make that human a Planeswalker with just a hundred or so years of experience and you dive headfirst into I should be wearing brown pants territory. Make that 'Walker Shadenight with thousands of years experience... Well, I'm sure nothing too bad will happen. After all, Shade is fluff, right?

Lorewise, because they're the bastard lovechild of Gandalf and the Zerg.

In the card game, because they get out of hand stupidly fast. Turn one, I play a creature with flying. Now all of my creatures can fly. Turn two, I play a creature that makes all of my other creatures a little bit stronger. Turn three I play a creature that makes it so you can never kill my creatures.

Like that, over and over again. If you let a sliver player build up a boardstate you're kind of fucked.
 
Interestingly, on a competitive level Slivers aren't good at all, they take too long to get rolling and can get shut down. Mermaids, Infect, and B/R/G are all significantly better, with some other things like Affinity (artifact creatures), Dredge (discard your cards from your hand to cast things from graveyard for cheaper), U/G infect and Ad Nauseum (don't lose until you win) being up there as well.

Yeah. Slivers are best in casual settings. That said, there are rogue sliver decks in every format that has them. Usually they're able to win because people don't expect them to be good.
 
So it's well known that ShadeWalker doesn't like fighting, and yet they're still poking the dragon? How stupid can you get?
 
If I were in Shadewalker's shoes at that moment, I'd leave the horde of Slivers behind just to make Conner regret it all. And tell him that I was, in fact, being the one to teach Rito the basics of being a 'Walker.
 
Remember that Shade is an old Walker an ancient one at that, in charge of the slivers.

That increases the threat level a lot. Kinda looking forward shades old squad showing up. Cause every Walker had a squad.
 
He might be a Nicol Bolas-tier infamy, or he replaced Nicol Bolas as THE notorious planeswalker around. I mean, its likely an AU without mending so there has to be something that happened. Also, one of the Oldest(?) and Slivers(yay).

I think you might be confusing "impunity" with something else, because your post isn't making sense to me, otherwise.
impunity
noun im·pu·ni·ty \im-ˈpyü-nə-tē\

freedom from punishment, harm, or loss

It's really hard to follow who's speaking when you leave the dialogue in random places instead of putting another speaker into his own paragraph, e.g.:

John didn't answer.

"You think I'll just let this slide because it's renowned that I despise fighting?" I asked in the silence that stretched between us.

He simply glared.

"Playing the silent game?"​

The context is a lot clearer than having to look at a paragraph for a minute.

Please make a distinction between independent (main) clauses and dependent (subordinate) clauses; it alters the necessary punctuation (as this demonstrates). Generally useful: English clause syntax - Wikipedia

That third link is way too long, but checking out just the intro is okay.

There's a bunch of quizzes available if you feel like checking out how good you are at practical stuff. The theory is a bit too abstract, especially with the wide range of definitions of sentence out there.
 
I think everyones biggest reason for being so trigger happy when meeting Shade because he is associated with the Silvers, the scourge of worlds only topped by Phyrexia. Maybe he did some plane conquering and destroying but thats normal for any sufficiently old walker, the big problem was that he was drowning them in tides of Slivers and noone is very happy about Slivers.

They probably met him whilst he was in a puppy kicking century. I think his multi-coloured nature makes him more changable and mutable than other planeswalkers, who tend to get stuck in a one-track mind after a while.
