Sliver creatures you control have afflict 2. (Whenever a creature with afflict 2 becomes blocked, defending player loses 2 life.)
Whenever a nontoken Sliver you control dies, amass Slivers 2. (Put two +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a Sliver. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Sliver Army creature token first.)

Official rulings
- To amass Slivers 2, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Sliver Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put 2 +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already a Sliver, it becomes a Sliver in addition to its other types. (2023-07-28)
- If you don't control an Army, the Sliver Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters. (2023-07-28)
- If multiple creatures block a creature with afflict, afflict triggers only once. (2023-07-28)
- Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it's not damage or combat damage. (2023-07-28)
- Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player. (2023-07-28)
- If a creature is attacking a planeswalker, that planeswalker's controller is the defending player. If a creature is attacking a battle, that battle's protector is the defending player. (2023-07-28)
- If a creature has multiple instances of afflict, each triggers separately. (2023-07-28)
- In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you played a creature with changeling) while you amass Slivers, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't a Sliver, it becomes a Sliver in addition to its other types. (2023-07-28)
