Instead of {eternal witness}, I recommend {naya charm}. Can still return a card from the GY but has the option to tap all your opponents creatures so you can walk in and pound face with your endless ranks of slivers...

And it's an instant...

Maybe take out {phyrexian metamorph} for {sliver queen}, {sliver legion}, {Urza's incubator}, {wild pair}, {door of destinies}, or {unnatural selection}?
Also, {harmonic sliver} over {aura shards}?

{Unnatural Selection}

You can steal all the dudes forever

{wild pair} is insane with overlord. And {sliver queen} is infinite with {mana echoes}.

Mana echoes and sliver queen are in the deck. I think I can cut {aura shard} to put in wild pair.

{Virulent Sliver} seems bad. Ten slivers landing is game anyways, no? Unless really high life totals are a thing in your meta.

{Frenzy Sliver} seems weak. Win more that's not super powerful IMO.

Super helpful. Thank you very much.

Typically, I try to avoid abilities that cost a lot of mana. (With the exception of {necrotic sliver}). With {victual sliver} and {acidic sliver}, you have to pay a bunch of mana, and sacrifice a sliver, to get the same thing done that lifelink slivers can do by just attacking, or {necrotic sliver} can do by straight up destroying whatever is in your way (instead of pinging for 2)

Great points! I'll replace them.

Cut {victual slier} and {acidic sliver} for {magma sliver} and {hibernation sliver}
Title: Re: Sliver Broverlord
Post by: blackychan1 on March 18, 2015, 08:15:14 AM
I also think you should play {constricting sliver}. Every sliver being an {banisher priest} is big. Also, with {mana echoes}, {wild pair}, and mana slivers, you seldom pay it's full cost.

{Amoeboid changeling} and {aphetto dredging} look like they aren't integral to the deck synergy.

The amoebae can make creatures slivers, so your commander can steal them. Seems pretty powerful.

{Heart Sliver}, {Sidewinder Sliver} and {Mirror Entity} look weak.

Also cut {homing sliver} for {rhystic study} because I don't like discarding my slivers.

Or swing with {Nicol Bolas}. Or use something like {Dark Deal}. But that's a different deck.

MMMMM in love t4/t5 scion into nicol for a hand removal for a blue player in the pod.

They read the upkeep cost and demand you must sacrifice him, then you point out its the upkeep cost and they sadly discard hand stating they had a combo ready

The last parts of the deck(except for sliver queen and sliver legion 😭) has been acquired. Will be play testing soon and then I'll write up an article about the deck even though it's a pretty straight forward creature deck.
