0/0
There's not much to say about it yet, so I'll use this space to discuss the series in general.
Arcbound Colossus, and now Sliver, demonstrate a new outline technique I was trying, where one solid line is replaced by several hasty lines, creating a sketchier, more ragged appearance, but also a more natural one. I didn't use it for Insect because it's so small and meant to be smooth steel. The inspiration for Colossus came while looking at all the pictures of Arcbounds from my new booster pack (
) and admiring the concept so much. I was then spurred to make more, so I made Insect to go in my Insect deck (in my head). Seeing I was onto something, I looked for another type of creature to 'arcbind', and decided on a Sliver. At this point, I realized my best bet here was to add and Arcbound version to all my favorite creature types. Which I intend to in due time.

It's closer to equality. I approve of the change.

Care to comment on my other machines...or anything else in my gallery?

One problem though, slivers are all supposed to be equal with the exception of power and toughness while they are in play.

And this one isn't?

Well, it has the sunburst ability and modular but the does not grant said abilities to others. I think maybe you should remove protection from artifacts and have it give all slivers sunburst and modular.

Well, I see your point, but only artifact creatures have modular, because only artifact creatures can be targeted by modular. Besides, Sunburst and Modular are both what defines its power and toughness. Truthfully I should just remove Sunburst, as in a Sliver deck this could easily be a 6/6 for 4, which is too broken.
Anyway, it's no more unique than Sliver Queen or Overlord.

Well, I like your idea, and I have been curious about a Sliver that affects the way Sliver spells are played, rather than what they do once in play, so maybe there's some room for compromise.
By the way, DA told me you favorited this, but it doesn't show up in your favorites. Did you push the button and then immediately abort, or what?

I don't know what happened. Maybe the page got errored right when I clicked it or something.

Well, I tweaked the abilty. I certainly couldn't give all Slivers Sunburst; do you realize what that would do to Overlord? But I think the compromise works.

Do you have the stats for it, like mana cost, abilities, power, toughness and whatnot?

Hey, I know I technically closed the file on Arcbounds, but since you're obviously a player, I'd be willing to honor a request for a creature to arcbind, if there's something you'd like to see...

Yeah, all that is to be released in a journal entry very shortly.

omg I love the effect, it makes it look furry. 
Hmmyep.

I'm not actually sure it it's furry, but since it's a machine, I'm guessing no. I thought it looked blurry or streaky, implying movement. I don't know, though, this is new turf for me.
