Sideboard


At last, Slivers scurry about in standard once more. This little critterbrew of mine has been positively shredding in the Just for Fun room on MTGO... Let's play: Slivers!

Obviously, these Slivers are all rather dull on their own but quite amazing together. Going Predatory Sliver or Manaweft Sliver into Syphon Sliver or Hive Stirrings into Bonescythe Sliver is perhaps an ideal start. Going from there to drop a Galerider and potentially remove some threat in the same turn, has the potential to do some serious lifelink damage in the air. Twice.

Galerider Sliver tends to work better as a middle to late game 'combat trick' than a turn one flier. In the same manner, dropping a Megantic Sliver (ie, a Collective Blessing on Sliver legs) changes the board situation profoundly with a single drop.

Megantic Sliver

The lifelink from Syphon Sliver can be essential to surviving against aggro decks. Mono red aggro has on that note been the opposing strategy causing the most problems for my snippety flakes. Any ideas for answers?

Any and all feedback on this deck would be much appreciated. SB? (Too many cards I want in there...) Landbase? I'd especially appreciate feedback concerning what 'tricks' to put in main and SB. I have a few one-ofs to deal with sticky situations, that can all be quite handy, but I don't know if they are the 'best' options for their slots?

I also wonder whether Mutavault would do me any good? I haven't tried putting it in - what with being four colors I've opted to have more color options in the mana base. A Sliver for your thoughts?
