I decided I would jump on the bandwagon and create my own version of the sliver deck. I took some inspiration from the standard Jund, mainly part of the control aspect of it. This is a slow build aimed for more mid-range type engagements. Farseek should help you get land, but I am still flirting with the idea of throwing in more mana accel to help out balance the deck, I still need to test the deck so depending on how that goes I may throw something in.

Manaweft Sliver should help with mana, especially in the cases of Galerider Sliver and Syphon Sliver, which I think are two of the better Slivers in the set. When they are paired with Bonescythe Sliver it is a deadly combo, there are not too many answers for flying in standard that consistantly see play.

Shock and Giant Growth are both good cards to play after blocks are declared to get rid of pesky creatures. With that being said there are no answers to Boros Reckoner in the mainboard, you can only opperate around it or just bite the bullet and take the damage. Boros Charm is mainly in this deck for one reason and that is to protect against board wipes and the like.

Syncopate is a great spell late game or early game to help get rid of something that you don't want to see. Whether that is something as simple as a turn two Strangleroot Geist or something more powerful and destructive such as Angel of Serenity

The reason for thowing in Garruk into the deck is quite simple. He is beast (no pun intended), he pumps out his own blocks and at the same time helps you draw cards. Honestly I don't think the final ability of Garruk's is the main focus of this deck. I believe this deck can win before the need to -6 on Garruk.

As for the Sideboard: Pillar of Flame is for voice and maybe even Gravecrawler if it seems to be doing work on you.Pacifism is for Boros Reckoner or anything you don't want to deal with like Thundermaw Hellkite. Rest in Peace reanimator or Scavenging Ooze. Volcanic Strength is obviously for other players who run red. Skullcrack is for sphinx's revalation or Thragtusk. Acidic Slime is for Maze's End decks, which I see quite a bit of where I play. Electrickery is for any kind of Blitz decks. While Ray of Revelation is for Assemble the Legion or even Growing Ranks and Intangible Virtue in green white token decks.

Thanks for giving this a read and I hope the deck helps you win at your local FNM
