I think you're a little creature heavy and there's a lot of Slivers you can cut. 35 lands might be a little slow too. I'm also not a big fan of single target creature destruction in EDH. Hero's Downfall is an exception bc it hits Walkers too. If you're running rocks, you're gonna want it to give you access to all colors. We Are The Hive. Resistance Is Futile. - that's my Sliver deck, don't forget to upvote :D

Bounce lands are not good in EDH. Running Amulet of Vigor just to fix them is not worth it, because you are either relying on drawing it early game or you're wasting tutors for something underwhelming. Also, a green deck shouldn't run Land Tax. Just run mire ramp. Things like Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Skyshroud Claim, that kind of thing. Dark Ritual seems bad as ramp since you need WUBRG and it doesn't help with that.

Also, you need to be running Homeward Path. One Phantasmal Image or Phyrexian Metamorph and you're going to have a bad time.

You're also very light on removal. You could consider Utter End and its ilk.

Wow, the first thing I notice here is lots of non-slivers. I mean they're good cards on their own, but late mid-late game you will be wishing it was a sliver you drew, a couple shapeshifters are fine, but you're gonna want those sliver buffs. Just run a card search on all slivers, this deck needs it. But I mean, where are Shifting Sliver and Ward Sliver at the very least?... And like enpc said, Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual are going to prove next to useless in most situations here for ramping. Also consider a Coat of Arms instead of the door, or if there's room for it when you're done both. I like Door of Destinies, but you'll find unless you play it early on, you'd rather have a Coat of Arms.... I would say the deck needs a lot of work, and don't take everything I said as me being a dick. I just want my criticism to help you. I've ran slivers, I've ran lots of type decks, you really don't wanna pull away from the type at all if you can help it. I'll be on later when the creatures are fixed to start spitting out enchantments and such.

ChinoEX's sliver deck is actually very well made, check out his creatures and spells for a good example of what a sliver edh looks like, also I came across this one that I like a lot of too sliver EDH. Though I disagree on one thing with chioex, sliver decks are creature decks, to me 25 is light, I'd personally wanna be drawing sliver after sliver, spells come second to them.

I find changeling cards pretty redundant in slivers, just play a Hivestone and add more slivers

hempel: I made a few changes to my list to actually add some more Slivers :D I added them more for defensive purposes tbh because I feel as if people are going to be swinging at me constantly and they usually do lol.

ChinoEX People always swing at sliver decks. If they don't they'll lose. They need to thin your heard early before it's too late. haha... That's the one thing you always have to account for playing slivers.

Also though, I never like playing Patriarch's Bidding because I find I never cast it unless it's the last card in my hand, people rarely destroy enough slivers for it to be worth it, I find it's better to use that space for something else, but that's your call.

Awesome suggestions guys thank you.

Alright made some updates. Definitely needed some more creatures and slivers mainly lol. Also took out some lands. hempel I don't like Coat of Arms because other tribal decks can use it to and I don't like to share. However I do have Sliver Legion. I also agree with you about bounce lands not being great only cards I have on hand. I definitely need to fix that soon lol.

Striking Sliver + Venom Sliver makes combat impossible for anything but an indestructible creature. Add in Thorncaster Sliver to wipe out the entire opposition before blockers even declared. Commander's Sphere good in 5-color deck. Wrap in Vigor can save your team from a sweeper. Megantic Sliver also nice. Athreos, God of Passage might not work, as people would gladly pay 3 life to get a key sliver to the graveyard. Blur Sliver deceptively good also

Jimmy_Chinchila awesome tips going to look into those for sure thank you

My suggestion would be to remove Slivers which already do things others do. If you already have Venom Sliver, you could do without Toxin Sliver. Diffusion Sliver is a little weak, in my opinion. I would go with a Steely Resolve, Privileged Position. or Asceticism. You don't need Jace lol, get a Rhystic Study if you want to draw. I would also look to replace Conspiracy, since you already run Hivestone and Burgeoning isn't that great, once you're out of lands that's it for that. Try Into the Wilds or even Oracle of Mul Daya.

ChinoEX you the man lol but really awesome suggestions.

Mtgangsta says... #15

I just love Jace Beleren lol but I finally took him out I'm thinking of dumping Mana Reflection looking for a smaller mana doubler any suggestions?

hfvalenz says... #16

Mirari's Wake costs 1 less mana than Mana Reflection but it works on lands only. On the good side, it gives your creatures +1/+1.

Keep in mind that Crystalline Sliver won't let you use Overlord's stealing ability or Magma Sliver bonus ability. This may happen with Ward Sliver as well.

In my sliver deck I replaced Amoeboid Changeling with Unnatural Selection, because it lets you steal more than one creature if you have the mana and as an enchantment, it can be a bit harder for your opponents to deal with it. Same can be done once with Shields of Velis Vel.

As for mass removal, I'm playing All Is Dust combined with Ghostflame Sliver and Day of Judgment with Sliver Hivelord.

Please take a look at my approach to slivers:

hfvalenz thank you for the suggestions I'm thinking Crystalline Sliver for Ghostflame Sliver definitely gonna look at mass removal spells that pair well with my stuff too

hfvalenz says... #18

Hey man, don't cut Crystalline! He's awesome! Just keep in mind his ability.

You can always play Hibernation Sliver and bounce Crystalline so you can do your stealing and then play him again.

Maybe a Chord of Calling to get the sliver you need.

Thanks guys

Second Sunrise, Twilight's Call, or Creeping Renaissance would be good additions. Easy ways to get all your creatures back from someone board wiping or playing All Is Dust on you. Crib Swap is also really good in this deck as it is a "sliver card" that can be tutored out with Sliver Overlord. A rather helpful spot removal. I feel like Defense Grid would hinder you. Especially once you get Prophet or Quick Sliver out. I have a Prismatic Omen in all of my 5 color decks, because it's the ultimate mana-fixer for that many colors. All in all, an awesome looking deck! I've been thinking of updating my sliver EDH eventually.

Gained great ideas from Raging_Squiggle although some personal favs of mine like Ghostflame Sliver can be good answer too removals like All Is Dust , Homing Sliver is great for sliver cycling (especially with first three card mentions in prior post) Chord of Calling is great for additional Sliver pull in situations where possibly can't use creature abilities, and personal opinion (with my style of play) I still run Defense Grid IF Prophet is on field as well as manaweft or gemhide... Love taking advantage of Telekinetic Sliver combo with Prophet tho more than I could ever explain! Love build and love Slivers! Thx as well for card ideas for my Sliver EDH!!

Also I'd have to check to be certain but I been told Demonic Tutor was on a banned list... Does that matter as far as EDH format goes?

December 6, 2015 7:52 a.m.

hfvalenz says... #25

@SpencerMTGguy check out the official banlist for Commander here and for Duel Commander here. As of today, Demonic Tutor isn't banned in any of those.
