You should be running 2-3 Chromatic Lantern to help your mana base. It's a lot cheaper than buying a bunch of expensive dual lands and with your land base you will run into mana problems quite often. If you add those, then you could easily drop to 20-22 mana and your deck will play out a lot smoother.

I'm glad you understand the "slivers rule"; which is to say that you never want to run 4x of a sliver that has an ability that doesn't stack, with the exception of mana slivers like Manaweft Sliver . You should be running 4x Predatory Sliver and 4x Manaweft Sliver though, since they're so important to this deck winning.

I have a fairly similar sliver deck for standard that you can check out if you like: 5 Color Standard Slivers?.

Thanks for the suggestions...

really dont run into too many mana issues as i almost always draw a Manaweft Sliver and a Hive Stirrings

looking to add another Door of Destinies

the dual lands i have i got playing pre-release Theros events so no extra cost there and i actually like the scry on them... been thinking about getting 1 or 2 more to be honest

Also with Bow of Nylea my win condition really boils down to Thorncaster Sliver 's interaction as i can take out all the defenders with the single deathtouch damage and hit straight up on the opponent's life total

I would change a lot of your creatures numbers. And replace your mana with at least 8 shocklands, or 2 of each. This speeds up the deck like crazy. Also, I'd replace Nylea's Presence with Chromatic Lantern . think about running 4 of both Manaweft Sliver and Galerider Sliver for more ramp and a better chance to hit the sky. And another Door of Destinies wouldn't hurt your deck in the least.

when playing slivers, getting everybody out is top priority. But, against creature aggro decks, waiting to get your guys out is a terrible thing to deal with. That's why I'd ramp it up, and hard. You can check out mine of you like. Maybe it'll help, maybe not. Anyway, it's a +1 from me, even if I don't agree :)

Sadly my Shocklands are all in use in other decks... still too expensive for me to stock up on them

also sideboard is not up as its not finished but my 4th for Predatory Sliver and Galerider Sliver are in there

How smooth does it generally run? I like it though.

No sideboard for you?

This goes fast enough that I really don't need an answer for anything cause game is usually done by turn 6... 7 if they counter one of my bigguns

There's definitely a huge amount of merit to running a sideboard for a deck that has all 5 colors. If nothing else you have savage summoning to deal with control matchups and removal spells/blind obedience to deal with aggro. Also I disagree with the choice to have so many basic lands. With all 5 colors you need as many dual lands as you can get to balance out your mana supply. Testing it out I found that I frequently lacked the right color of mana to play the cards in my hand.

I have always found that tapped out mana screws you everytime... i run as many dual lands as i can afford and i have never been in a position where i was without a color i needed...

also as far as sideboard... in my play group i have no need of one as i destroy even friends legacy decks with it as it sits

thanks for the input :)

I think another Predatory Sliver would serve you well.

Sliver counts are pretty much locked in. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've found that Rootborn Defenses works amazingly well against control and burn (you can dodge board wipes like Supreme Verdict and Anger of the Gods ). Also combos nicely with Hive Stirrings . Populate!

Worth a 4-of in the SB for control matchups, you think? Like. I said, it's done a great job for me.

You should probably start thinking of something to replace Chromatic Lantern since it'll be rotated out of standard pretty soon if you still play the deck. I would recommend just putting in two more dual lands or one more and another Hive Stirrings .

4 predatory is absolutely essential. There's no reason at all to not run them all. Ready // willing is amazing when you have manaweft and even better when you have sentinel as well.
