Sliver Gravemother
Legendary Creature — Sliver · {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} · Black/Green/Red/Blue/White commander
The "legend rule" doesn't apply to Slivers you control.
Each Sliver creature card in your graveyard has encore {X}, where X is its mana value.
Encore {5} ({5}, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)

What Sliver Gravemother actually does
Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.
What a Sliver Gravemother deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 7× Refill your hand
- 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
