Mana cost

The converted mana costs of sliver creature cards range from 1 to 7. There are eight slivers with converted mana cost 1. Groundshaker Sliver is the only sliver with converted mana cost 7.

Five slivers cost WUBRG. Those slivers are Sliver Queen, Sliver Legion, Sliver Overlord, Sliver Hivelord, and The First Sliver.
