Planar Chaos common. The cycle of mono-colored 1/1 Slivers in Tempest were all named after body parts (Clot, Heart, Muscle, Talon, and Winged), based on the original concept that the Slivers were literally fragments of a single being. While that idea fell by the wayside, the names were retained with a different concept underlying them. When Muscle Sliver was timeshifted for Planar Chaos, it was decided that it should have a body part in its name that could have slotted nicely into the original cycle. Thus, Sinew Sliver.
