Rationale
7/7 five-color sliver lord for 5 mana with cascade on cast. Cascade trigger enables value cascade chains when paired with cheap sliver spells. Signature in sliver combo shells that can chain cascades; requires sufficient sliver density and lower-cost sliver spells to generate consistent value. Weak in control (tempo mismatch) and aggro (too slow for the curve).
