Hello everyone!

I am in the process of building an EDH deck. I have never had much luck with these, but I was given a Sliver Overlord as a gift, and I really would like to make this guy a commander.

My basic understanding of Slivers is that they can almost act as the sorcery / instant spells you would normally apply to a deck. So the general idea being, you load up on creatures, and have a few very good supporting spells to go with them. Please correct me here if this is misguided.

Here are my major concerns:
1. Mana Fixing for 5 colors
2. Mana - Creature - Spell Ratio
3. Which Slivers and Which Spells to run?
4. Should I focus 3 of the five and just splash the others? If so which colors?

I haven't been playing magic for very long, so my knowledge of the cards pre Return to Ravnica is very limited.

Suggestions and Feedback is extremely appreciated!Thanks for looking, and +1 if you like the idea :D
