So I have a question: how competitive are Sliver decks in their relevant formats? At first I didn't think they'd be much so, but after listening to some folks at a card shop, it got me curious
Not sure from a competitive standpoint but I seen em get out of hand in casual games. I personally don't like the tribe and have more interest in making say....an Atog deck before a sliver deck....and that is not saying much since I have about zero interest in making an Atog deck lol.
if u can keep up with all the chaos they can be very very useful. Just....so many.....buffs.....
Makes for a very amusing EDH deck.
In legacy they aren't a problem,
affinity, merfolk and rogue are just more predictable and fast.
Rogue?

{Atog}!!! Nice! I want to make a {rabid wombat} deck!
You mean {Aura Gnarlid} and {kor spiritdancer} right?

Lol! Sure! They'll go in there too! I didn't even know about those cards. Decks getting better and better!
Rogue is a catch-all for different decks that win trying to predict the meta. They run from equipment decks (Cawblade) to {Progenitus}.
It's like "going rogue", doing something outside the ordinary and being sneaky. It's not really right to say they're all better then Slivers, but generally a rogue deck plays great.

Wasn't sure if you were talking about a Rogue creature-type deck I've never heard of. So, is there a difference between Rogue and Homebrew?
Rogue decks differ from home brew in that they're tournament level decks, homebrew generally isn't.
There might be a rogue tribal deck, Could be cool.
I know you could make one from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor, but I don't think there's anything competitive.
