Legendary

Sliver Overlord is usually the main general, but the other legendaries are also included to mix it up once in a while:

Sliver Queen for a combo general.Sliver Legion for a more random, aggro general.Sliver Hivelord for a harder-to-remove general.

Slivers

Slivers are cool because of their "evolution" abilities, giving their abilities to all other Slivers (and with M14/M15, only Slivers you control). Multiple redundant copies of Slivers with good abilities, along with Sliver Overlord's tutor ability helps recover from board wipes easier.

Amoeboid Changeling for turning things into Slivers (and then stealing with Sliver Overlord), or making things lose tribal buffs.

Quick Sliver for flashing Slivers in at instant speed.

Hibernation Sliver and Pulmonic Sliver help protect important Slivers from boardwipes/removal.

Sliver Hivelord for indestructibility, Crystalline Sliver for shroud, Ghostflame Sliver makes Slivers colorless (for playing around All Is Dust or protection).

Battering Sliver, Belligerent Sliver, Horned Sliver, Pulmonic Sliver, Shifting Sliver, Ward Sliver and Winged Sliver for different forms of evasion/protection.

Battle Sliver, Megantic Sliver, Might Sliver and Sliver Legion for pumps.

Combos

Sliver Queen allows for a few infinite combos:Mana Echoes + Sliver Queen = Infinite Sliver tokens and Colorless ManaBasal Sliver + Sliver Queen + Training Grounds = Infinite Sliver tokens and Black ManaSliver Queen + Basal Sliver + Blur Sliver/Heart Sliver/Reflex Sliver + Manaweft Sliver/Gemhide Sliver = Infinite Sliver tokens and Mana of any color

Once any of the above are assembled, add Acidic Sliver for infinite damage or Blur/Heart/Reflex for haste to attack with tokens (or Psionic Sliver for infinite damage).

Other Permanents

Coat of Arms and Door of Destinies pump Slivers, Urza's Incubator reduce Sliver costs.Descendants' Path can cast Slivers for free (or filter away Signets/lands later in a game), Lurking Predators can also cheat Slivers into play when opponents cast spells.Wild Pair gets a free Sliver when one is cast (which can get a little weird with power/toughness buffs), and it works with Descendants' Path casts.Mana Echoes gets ridiculous (even without going infinite with Sliver Queen), and can lead to dumping an entire hand worth of Slivers with ease.

Primal Surge

One of the ideas behind the design of the deck was to have ALL permanents, except for one sorcery spell - Primal Surge. This way, casting Primal Surge can essentially just flip the entire deck over, stopping only if you decide to.
