Gameplay

Creature — Sliver

Whenever a Sliver deals damage, its controller gains that much life.

The slivers would survive, even at the expense of every other creature on Otaria.

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.

2013-07-01wotc

Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.

2004-10-04wotc

You only gain the life when the triggered ability resolves. If you are reduced to zero life before the ability resolves, you will lose before gaining the life.
