Sliver Overlord (Budget build)

[Vileo]

Keep in mind this is a budget build online, which is typically a lot cheaper than paper.

Background
So, I was randomly thinking about building another EDH deck, then I decided to check out what the Premium Slivers deck had in it. It actually had a lot of sweet staples (including Sliver Overlord) in foil, for only 2 tickets ($2 USD) online! I started looking into what kind of a deck I could make for about 5 tickets, started asking my friends about any spares/donations they might have toward the deck, and I came up with this monstrosity. The mana base is scarily reliable, considering how cheap it is. As long as you're smart about how you tap, it's almost as good at a $1,000 mana base (original duals, fetches, shocks, 10 of each). Also, here is proof that I really only spent 5 total tickets for the entire deck.

Infinite Mana
{Heart Sliver} + {Manaweft Sliver}/{Gemhide Sliver} + {Sliver Queen} + {Basal Sliver}
Make a token with Queen, tap it for any color mana, sacrifice it for BB. Spend the BB to make another token. Rinse and repeat.

Infinite Attack Phases
{Aggravated Assault} + {Sentinel Sliver} + {Manaweft Sliver}/{Gemhide Sliver} + any evasion sliver (preferably {Shifting Sliver}, the best evasion sliver) + any two other Slivers.
Attack with all five slivers, before damage tap all five for R mana to activate your Aggravated Assault, giving you another attack phase. Rinse and repeat.

Looks sexy. I'll be selling some stuff to my bits to get that last ticket. Haha. It probably won't be enough to get a lot of the deck, but it will be a good start, right? Haha

Also, I need your friends that will donate to a good cause. Haha. No one ever gives me free stuff. 

The only good part about this clan is the discount on the bots. No one actually speaks.

What clan are you in?

Lol definitely. Be sure to check out the link in the Background paragraph if you want to see the prices I bought everything at, as well. I'm going to mark everything foil/donated/etc.

Edit: I'm not currently in any clan, actually.

[Ertai]

Do you happen to have any extras of those mana artifacts? I have Darksteel ignot, but none of the others.

Nope, sorry. I bought my Fellwar Stone foil for 0.02. Chromatic Lantern was 0.31.

[Ertai]

So basically you're saying you're not very generous? LOL jk.

xD if I had extras I'd give them to you, man, I promise. The only duplicates I have are Angelic Skirmisher and some M13 cards.

[Ertai]

I guess the biggest things I'm going to need for now are the lands. I don't have all of the guildgates.

And that {Maze's End} was a really good idea, so if you don't mind I'm going to use that as well.

Promo sliver queen?

[Vileo]

Promo sliver queen?

MtGO has different promos than paper Magic does.

Also, no problem, Ertai. Maze's End is basically a {Thawing Glaciers} anyway.

My bot has a promo {Maze's End}, but it won't tell me how much it is, I'm assuming a ticket or so. But I bought foils of all the gates and a foil of the non sliver creatures and foil aggravated assault. Only 3 tickets so far.

[Vileo]

I bought a non-foil promo Maze's End from MtGO Traders for 0.05. =P

Nice.

[MuggyWuggy]

{Hunter Sliver} is amazing

[Vileo]

It's good if you're not trying to have evasive slivers. For the same reason, I don't run {Magma Sliver} or {Crypt Sliver} because I have {Crystalline Sliver}. Although I agree it's pretty sweet for killing things. That's why {Thorncaster Sliver} is in there, though. =P
