The deck seems good however a few things that you might want to consider are 1. some way of getting card advantage would be nice since if games go long you will just get out-valued by other decks 2. due to the influx of True-Name Nemesis you are going to want Toxic Deluge/Zealous Persecution somewhere in the 75 to be able to deal with that and 3. the sideboard could use some tweaking in my opinion especially for grindy games soo something like Umezawa's Jitte is great to help give you the edge on them

Off of what I've seen from sliver tournament decks and other decks online, the reflecting pools should be replaced with mutavaults. The mutavaults provide a 2/2 for 1 mana that doesn't die to toxic deluge or the rare drown in sorrows and helps for a late game grind. You could possibly start off a hand with only a reflecting pool or two even leaving you with no mana. Along with that, manaweft slivers and diffusion slivers would be a large help as it helps dump your hand and provide more protection. Toxin Sliver could also go into the main board for a 1 or two or in the sideboard simply because it is the bane of creature decks if you have both striking and toxin. Relic of progenitus also works against dredge which would beat this deck and the ancient ziggurat should be taken out for some more guaranteed mana lands so that you can play your non-sliver sideboard cards

Ancient Ziggurat would go well here

A style of sliver deck very different from every kind I have ever run. The one I currently am sticking to isn't supposed to be very serious, but the mana curve is very different.

@Phillygreenman007 - The only reason Ancient Ziggurat isn't used in this deck is because my side board is a bit spell heavy. It could definitely replace some of the more expensive lands if you're looking to save costs though.

@HeadinPants - This deck tries to be competitive and the most competitive aspect of Slivers is their speed. There are definitely more fun and more janky Sliver decks out there, I even have a Sliver control deck (Slivers Just Got Smart.) that's full of jank and fun to play. This one is all about dropping slivers down fast and pushing out damage as quickly as possible.

Saljen I would seriously consider running Virulent Sliver as it would make your win go a lot quicker. It is also very low in price.

I've been starting to play Slivers in Legacy recently. One sliver you might want to consider is the Hunter Sliver, he fits the >=2 CMC. I run 1 in the main board beside a single Striking Sliver. Always fun to be able to target and destroy those pesky Young Pyromancer, Deathrite Shaman, and Monastery Mentor, before they can reek havoc on you.

FYREKNIGHT... Virulent Sliver is a great card, it's only too bad that you have to the hit the player 10 times... and if all has gone according to plan, if you've hit the face that many times he or she will be beyond dead. Unfortunately Poisonous doesn't work the same as Infect, So your pumped up 5/5 Slivers swinging in for 5 damage will still only apply 1 poison counter.

Where is the hivelord

@classictravel13243546576879980 - Sliver Hivelord and all of the 5 color slivers are just too high CMC for this deck. By the time I could play a 5c Sliver, I should have already won.

I'm finding myself getting stopped dead in my tracks by Chalice and Engineered Explosives when I try all 2cc slivers. Aether Vial allows me to play around Chalice but slows me way down. Suggestions?

I think you should put 2x Bonescythe Sliver; It gives all your Slivers double strike.

@nitebane21 - Smelt might be a decent solution, though Harmonic Sliver sliver seems to solve both of those issues. They'd have to Chalice for 3 to stop it, which won't happen til late game. Explosives would just it if they went for 3, making it inefficient. Playing around those spells is pretty necessary as well, with Vial and holding back creatures to recover from a wipe. If they're running Chalice of the Void and Engineered Explosives because they're playing Stax or something similar, Swan Song helps to slow down the other parts of their deck significantly as well. If you're seeing those every game, it might be worth subbing in a few Smelt for Swan Song from the side board and going 4x on Harmonic Sliver. But only if you're seeing them all the time.

I’ve been playing this deck. Biggest issue is no way to replenish hand. I played against Modern Elves and gat mauled.

I use Lead the Stampede in my slivers

How would you reliably be able to play smelt/swan song when only three lands can produce the required mana?

This deck is pretty sweet! I’d like to hear some of your suggestions on my Sliver2.0 deck! It’s not quite like this it produces a tons of sliver tokens though. If you got the time I’d appreciate it!
