Rationale
5cmc 5/5 legendary sliver granting all slivers indestructible. Signature in sliver-tribal (lord anthem) and legendary-matters EDH shells where the 5-color identity works. Massive deck-construction constraint: 5-color mana requirement with no fixing clause; requires dense sliver population and strong mana base to be worthwhile. Pip-heavy and color-locked are critical build costs that limit playability beyond dedicated sliver decks.
