Modern Sliver EDH / Commander deck

Possibility for it to be competitive? I am in the process of finishing off the build.

After watching multiple builds and opinions from YouTube and a variety of websites, I have come to a build that has a majority of cards that most people go for. I believe there are many core Slivers that need to be in the deck and then the additional boost the decks flexibility. Plus the many combos that can be built.

I have taken stubear89 write up as I feel his explanation is simple and straight to the point. It is designed to get out Overlord as quickly as possible while trying to tutor for the sliver protection cards (Sliver Hivelord & Crystalline Sliver specifically) on the same turn.

Combos:

Sliver Overlord + Amoeboid Changeling = Permanently steal any creature (opponents commander)

Sliver Overlord + Morophon, the Boundless + Mana Echoes = Play every sliver in the deck. Due to Morophon, the Boundlesslowering the cost of each sliver by WUBRG, the only remaining costs are the generic mana costs. You will need a total of three mana available (Mana Echoes would provide at least two on the turn you play the second of Sliver Overlord or Morophon, the Boundless,) with both Sliver Overlord and Morophon, the Boundlessin play. First, search out Crystalline Sliver for protection and possibly any and all of the WUBRG Slivers. Each one will net positive mana from Mana Echoes each time they enter the field. This positive mana will be used for the subsequent tutors and then any additional generic mana costs.

If you have any of your mana Slivers out, fishing for key cards with Sliver Overlord will be quicker and you will get to combo pieces quicker!!

Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver + Lavabelly Sliver = Infinite damage & life.

Sliver Queen + Ashnod's Altar + Lavabelly Sliver = Infinite damage & life.

Sliver Queen + Mana Echoes = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and colorless mana. If you cannot attack, Lavabelly Sliver will end it. Also, thanks to the always-net positive mana Acidic Sliver wins on the spot or Necrotic Sliver also removes all opponents' permanents.

Sliver Queen + Heartstone + Basal Sliver = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and mana. See above for uses of unlimited mana and slivers.

Sliver Queen + Heartstone + Ashnod's Altar = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and colorless mana.

Sliver Queen + Biomancer's Familiar + Basal Sliver = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and mana.

Sliver Queen + Biomancer's Familiar + Ashnod's Altar = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and colorless mana.

Sliver Queen + Training Grounds + Basal Sliver = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and mana.

Sliver Queen + Training Grounds + Ashnod's Altar = Unlimited 1/1 Slivers and colorless mana.

Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver + Dormant Sliver = Draw entire library.

Incorporating any of the haste Slivers with the mana slivers will mean you have mana dork every time you play a sliver. That's where I like Vanquisher's Banner and Guardian Project as card draw engines every time a Sliver enters.

This guy has a reasonable video on a less heavy version of a sliver deck and more of a ramp to get key bits and hope it works... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ebC-WcWFk)


Always happy for feedback, ideas and suggestions. Some things I should swap in and out, better mana options and tutors extra I could change or add. I feel like I might need 1 to 3 more lands at minumum, what would you swap out and add in?? The maybeboard are cards I have added in and out to work possible combos and cards that work with the deck. My wallet isn't huge but the first thing I tried to get was a majority of mana base

Thanks for having a look!
