The First Sliver

Sliver Tribal

{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}

The First Sliver is the ULTIMATE Sliver lord and serves as an amazing commander in EDH. Overwhelm your opponent with slivers or to combo off are both strategies in this deck. Because slivers are so high profile, it usually becomes the archenemy.

Secret Commanders

Secret Commanders

Based on the levels of play at the table, switching out the Commander to change the way the deck plays is really easy.

Choice #1 The First Sliver

The First Sliver is the most aggressive and fun Commander of this deck. For the more high-powered tables.

Choice #2 Sliver Overlord

Sliver Overlord is for a more B level table, with a longer game plan and less explosive start to the game.

Choice #3 Sliver Hivelord

Sliver Hivelord is for more of a C Power leveled table. More about the protection than any combos or aggressive start.

Choice #4 Sliver Gravemother

Sliver Gravemother is the newest addition to the five color sliver lineup. I have not tested her out yet, but would be willing to try in the future.

Choice #5 Sliver Legion

Sliver Legion is good for the pump, that is about it.

Choice #6 Sliver Queen

Sliver Queen *oversized* can be an INCREDIBLE commander. However, she is not the leader of a Sliver Tribal Deck. She is for combo and combo only.

Sliver Based

• Necrotic Sliver: Targeted Removal for any permanent type.

Recursion

Recursion
