Hey everyone back with a standard brew, looking for sideboard suggestions. (Also wanted to put it on here for the mana pie chart to check my mana base lol). This time, going for a standard sliver aggro.
The Hive
Striking Sliver is decent for a t1 play, and first strike is useful to push damage through early while working up to a Megantic Sliver or Bonescythe Sliver alpha-strike.
Predatory Sliver is just awesome, all my guys get big off him. I usually try to protect these and bait out removal before dropping these guys.
And who better to use as bait than Sentinel Sliver? My t2 play of choice next to Manaweft Sliver. He draws out removal spells and has a higher base attack than everything else at his CMC, so if I go t3 Predatory Sliver more damage gets through. Also, the Sentinel Sliver + Manaweft Sliver combo makes a great synergy - attack with vigilance, then tap all your slivers to play more spells.
Manaweft Sliver is a god in this deck, makes all my guys mana fixers, and allows for potentially dropping a very early Megantic Sliver or Bonescythe Sliver and blowing the game out.
Blur Sliver is great on the curve at 3, makes a punch right away and if followed with a Bonescythe Sliver, it allows for some lethal plays.
Bonescythe Sliver is a bomb in this deck, the double strike ends games if he isn't dealt with.
Megantic Sliver, aka "The Crushinator" is just a beast.
Hive Stirrings is good card advantage and an excellent play after t2 Predatory Sliver and a t3 Blur Sliver.
Mutavault is almost satanic in this deck. Goes well with the deck, I'm however still unsure about the full 4.
Utilities
Domri Rade because, cards. The fight is also useful for clearing chump blocks and as a post combat trick to remove troublesome fatties.
Mizzium Mortars and Lightning Strike round off the maindeck for a little removal, which we keep more of in the side.
Sideboard
2 more Mizzium Mortars for when we see things like Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Stormbreath Dragon. Also in aggro mirrors, with a Manaweft Sliver and a couple of guys, it is very easy to overload this early and shut down the opposing (and let's be honest, usually more powerful) army.
Chandra, Pyromaster has been useful in a lot of matchups, against control she is ok for recurring damage and draw but she really shines against big green decks. Elvish Mystics die all day and Polukranos, World Eater can't block.
Chained to the Rocks is versatile removal that can hit a lot of things our Mizzium Mortars can't hit.
2x Selesnya Charm is a great utility against big green decks and decks running sets of Desecration Demon, or to drop a token after a Supreme Verdict, or even give someone that little bit of extra reach with +2/+2 and trample.
Pithing Needle and Boros Charm are in here for the control matchups mostly. Pithing Needle locks down Pack Rat, Jace, Architect of Thought, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, and AEtherling just to name a few. Boros Charm protects us from Supreme Verdict mainly, but it also useful versus targeted removal if you make some tight plays.
So that's my take, comments, suggestions, and +1's are appreciated!
