A sliver of destiny sounds painful...

On a different note, maybe {groundshaker silver}/{megantic sliver}? I know they cost a ton, but megantic sure wins you games...

 {Selesnya Charm} makes a good sideboard card, as does {Rootborn Defenses}.

How does it look to everyone. This will be my FNM Deck for this week and I know a lot of people play jund and azorious

Built the deck and tested it against all the top decks and only lost 1 game against Jund so I am still thinking of sideboard

2 words {Legions Initiative}! Prevents board wipes but also gives out small pumps. And in sliver they tend to side in all removal so Initiative helps either MB or sideboard.

Also {Ranger's Guile} is an overlooked card that really helps sliver a lot!!

Found a perfect spot for 2 of em. Now I have the {Legion's initiative} and the {Boros charm} to prevent boardwipe, {gruul charm} to stop flyers, {aurelia's fury} for control.

And I took out 1 Xenagos and replaced with Domri so if I hit her ultimate ability they will have everything including hexproof.

But ya looks good plus an early Domri just helps you so much!

I would think that esper could wreck this. Sweepers, Elspeth, and targeted discard keeps you from hittin the important slivers until they can kill you with Aetherling.

I have a lot of control in here that prevents sweepers and keeps Aetherling under wraps and whenever discard and mill decks come out I side in {Elixir of Immortality}

How long do your games tend to go with this? I feel it's so hard to race control to zero before their first sphinx's rev.

On an average turn 5

Well a Sphinx Rev never guarantees a comeback yes it stabilizes them a bit but lots of time they just stay land plus if you play {Boros Charm} and {Legions Initiative} board wipe is tough so Spjinx rev is good (probably the best UW card in Standard) but it by no means means a game loss vs slivers

Yup. When I played against u/w control I sided in {Skullcrack} to prevent life gain from revelation so all my opponent was left with was a butt load of cards in hand.
