Slivers

Is there a way to make slivers faster? I'm having trouble picking up speed with my sliver deck comprised of most From The Vault slivers along with the newer ones

If your in need of some better or more slivers I have a sliver commander deck I built thy I can piece out if your interested in

If you really want to be a jerk, make sure to throw a couple sliver hivelords's in there, and a slew of counterspells like my friend has. I use the term friend lightly now....

I have all these but I'm still getting slaughtered at my local modern tourneys. I was hoping there would be a different approach I could take without having to give up on my favorite deck!

I'm not sure if slivers CAN be quick enough for modern FNM to be honest. If you want to go tribal I'd say goblins of merfolk.
It hurts me to say, because I love them.

I know my roommate is a Merfolk user so I can see how much better they are but I guess I'll go back to my soldier deck!

Hard to say without knowing what you're running... Do you use  Æther Vial? Also maybe  Descendants' Path.

Sadly as a college kid those vials are a bit out of my budget! Path on the other hand has been purchased immediately!!

If you gotta cry about budget
Then you can't cry about how your deck is slow

Holy .... When did those jump that high?

I'm willing to spend money but 40 dollars for a card is high for me so excuse me if I look for other options besides the vials.

easy killer, he was only asking what he could do to improve his deck to speed it up...  no need to be mean

I was going to say something along these lines. He said "what can I do?" We said "this" he said "can't afford that currently" you said "then shut up". Not necessary, and not helpful. You could have simply explained that Modern is a competitive format and it takes money to compete. Not this you have no right to complain crap.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand,

Slivers is a pretty underwhelming deck. It's worth it to save up some money and buy Æther Vials. They will hold value and they will be useful as long as people want to play creatures (so forever).

I would recommend Sinew Sliver making a Naya colored Sliver deck. There's a green counterpart as well. Also...

Ghostway brave the elements dawn charm and stuff could help protect your guys a bit. There is that one ally that gives your guys indestructible that could work... and the sliver that gives it as well. Descendants path is a huge recommendation from me tho

since it is a creature heavy deck I think it'll be a perfect fit! Descendants path that is!

Also, in my experiences the best sliver abilities to give is first strike. It can really hurt defensive plans and break offensive ones. A 3/3 with first strike is gonna kill something 9 times out of 10. I forget who it is, but get the first strike sliver. .  Talon Sliver maybe?

  Striking Sliver and I've got a few copies!
