Regenerate with slivers
Asked by Bigwillfiles 11 years ago
So the other day my girlfriend and I where playing a game. I was playing with my sliver deck. I had several slivers out one of them being crypt sliver. She targeted crypt sliver with murder which destroyed it. My question is can I use another sliver to regenerate it since all sliver have regenerate or because it's dead do all slivers lose regenerate?
Get rid of the Crypt Sliver via exile, or reducing its toughness, or making you sacrifice it. Or waiting until you've tapped down your slivers (to attack etc) and -then- destroy it while you don't have an untapped sliver to regenerate it.

There are also plenty of Destroy effects that include "It can't be regenerated" as well which will get the job done.

Just to clarify something about this situation: Regeneration isn't something that you do after a permanent is destroyed. Rather, regeneration effects create a regeneration shield that lasts until the end of the turn. If the shielded permanent would be destroyed this turn, the shield is consumed and the destruction event is replaced with another event (the one specified by the regeneration ability). You need to regenerate a permanent before it is destroyed if you want the permanent to stick around. You won't have the option of regenerating it after.
Also, please make sure you link all cards in your question.

Crypt Sliver
You could actually have just tapped it in response to it being targeted with Murder which would have put a regeneration shield around itself preventing the destruction effect.
If it was summoning sick, you could have tapped any non-summoning sick, untapped sliver to use that ability.
If you let murder resolve and put the crypt sliver into the graveyard, they'd all have lost the ability instantly.
