Man, you need to cut 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth one is nice but if you get a second it's useless, much better to just have a few extra swamps. Also you should have Blood Crypt instead of Sulfurous Springs since one, you can fetch them and two, it's a swamp for your Sedge Sliver ,and maybe add another Bloodstained Mire instead of a mountain

Thanks didn't realize you could fetch for a shock land and I'm running three urborg because I need a little bit of mana fixing because I'm running 6 lands that only produce colorless when it comes to non slivers

Her man just took a look at the deck and the one thing I noticed right away was that it doesn't look like you have answers for removal or board wrote other than Sedge Sliver which could be a problem. If you were to splash white you could take advantage of Boros Charm to give indestructible as well as Sentinel Sliver for vigilance. That's just one suggestion though. I have always found it difficult doing less than 5-colour sliver decks, I just like taking full advantage. As long as you get a Sedge Sliver out early, the regeneration may be enough to avoid removal. +1 from me and I would love to hear how it performs.

Thanks ShiltonCDXX! And I would think about it if it wasn't doing so well. The game is over 80% of the time at turn five so board wipes I'm not too worried about. I have a group of friends that are pretty competitive and it has only lost one game outside of multiplayer(Iggiesauros). Also I've been playing the meta lately and have been consistently beating twin exarch and birthing pod, still have to make a affinity and mono red deck on here to play against.

looks decent enough, though there are fewer interactions than what you would normally see. in modern sliver decks (such as this one). with modern decks, you usually don't need to four-up on all the things. so having 2-of's will usually suffice. except Striking Sliver since he is one of two 1-drop slivers.

Hey coach good to hear the deck is doing well as is. I am trying to find either Sedge Sliver s, Clot Sliver s or Crypt Sliver s to get regenerate into my own deck but having a hard time finding them in my area. I may try my hand at a 2 or 3 colour variation.

Testing against mono red is a good idea, I played a best 3 of 5 match with my wife, I was using my A Sliver of a Different Color and she was using a new mono red deck we came up with for her (I'll post a link to her deck once I get it in here) and she won 3-2, burn spells+reverberate+guttersnipe = fast death sometimes.

I find mono red aggro/burn to be the toughest matchup I've had so far, with birthing pod being the next toughest if they get running. Sorry for the lengthy response. Would love to hear more about this deck as it develops. DFTBA

This looks like a really fun modern deck. It may actually encourage me to try the format

@CoachCudaback This deck is just so bad. You should probably delete it. -1

ah true, sorry, Anyway Cavern of Souls is a Slivers must, but its hard to do slivers without Manaweft Sliver

okay, look,
please change the name of this deck:
rape should not be used casually as a metaphor.
not in this era, when it is taken so lightly as to be brushed off, forgiven.

This deck looks good (+1 for you!). The only thing I would change is the mana base; after playtesting in against one of my tribal elf decks I found that it payed way too much life. I'd recomend a base of:

2 Sliver Hive

4 Cavern of Souls

4 Bloodstained Mire

2 Scalding Tarn

3 Blood Crypt

2 Watery Grave

1 Steam Vents

1 Swamp

2 Mountain

1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Not being able to fetch basics causes some lifepay problems. The only way you have to regain that is the Syphon Sliver, but that can be removed - or you may just not draw it at all! Of course, adding the extra sliver hives may make it slightly harder to cast Dreadbore, but that's not too much of a problem. All slivers but the four legendary ones (except the occasional multicolored one) are one colored mana and the rest colorless, so its very easy to fix for them. One Cavern of Souls, one Sliver Hive, or perhaps a Watery Grave and a Mountain is all you need.

The mana base I suggested may have some flaws in it, so you'd have to playtest, but I think that might help.

Aright so you linked your deck although I'm not an expert in slivers I can give some help haha. I'd personally say a playset of Sliver Hives not just because they're like 2 bucks each but because they give you any color for your slivers AND a colorless for your noncreature spells AND late game 1/1 sliver. The deck looks pretty cool I like the theme if you want to deal combat damage before you can't go wrong with a Fury Sliver or 2. If you seem to be having trouble getting Syphon Sliver you could run Homing Sliver and finally I like trample so Battering Sliver. The ones I've suggested are more late game so you'd probably run 2 is what I'd say because drawing 2 is useless they do the same thing and they cost a lot. +1. Oh and mainboard Terminate sb Dreadbore for those pesky walker decks

Thanks for the suggestions SpartanCEL and Player3.14 any thoughts on a side board besides dreadbore

SpartanCEL says... #18

CoachCudaback Hey thanks man! if you're making a sb it really just depends on your meta (who you play against essentially) if you're not sure who you'll face you can just prepare for everything. Generally speaking you'll probably see Tron, burn, aggro, wicked combo decks, monsters I'm just naming stuff google top modern decks if you want and try to playtest and see what this deck is weak against and what this deck doesn't need to sb against because it's strong (assuming your deck is strong;) )

You really want to play slivers that give the others +1/+1 like predatory/muscle, etc.
