I did the unthinkable and built a tribal deck in EDH.

Slivers are the ultimate toolbox tribe. There has been a sliver printed for just about every effect imaginable in Magic. This list chooses what I feel are the strongest effects to defend your swarm until you can bring home the victory with some combination of trample, double strike, or massive anthem effect. Until critical mass is assembled, control the board with effects like Harmonic Sliver or Necrotic Sliver. Abuse Manaweft/Gemhide and Basal Sliver for huge amounts of mana, or to avoid mass exile effects, then use Patriarch's Bidding to bring the entire swarm back from the dead. Any sliver that you need in any situation is just 3 mana away with your commander out. Shroud or Indestructible for protection, bounce or sac if you can't save them any other way.

Has most of the infinite options in the deck, aside from Mana Echoes (haven't gotten one yet). There are non-infinite lines that let you pull all the slivers out of your deck and attack if your meta doesn't like true infinites. If your playgroup lets you go infinite, there's all kinds of degenerate things you can come up with if your boardstate sticks around for more than a turn or 2.
