Yes, I have (there's one FNM that I've recorded below the description). I've balanced the deck in order to play against any type of opponent, and it has proven (to me and a few others at least) that it is worthy for competitive play. I'm not too sure about Syncopate though, since it's not a good card, nor a bad card and I'm currently under heavy consideration to change it for something else.

Really like the deck! I've been testing it on MTGO, and it's real consistent against the current standard meta.
I've made some modifications, taking out Ready / Willing and the Sphinx's Revelation because I never felt that casting either of them was a strength of the deck's style (albeit damage prevention and more control oriented).
I opted to add a couple Hive Stirrings (great against Aggro decks, and mono-devotion decks), as well as Jace, Architect of Thought as a card draw engine as well as a way to shutdown aggro. Two other interesting additions I'm testing is Path of Bravery , which is infinitely cheaper than Door of Destinies . The lifegain can completely blow out aggro decks, and usually it's a Glorious Anthem with upside against control.

Thanks for the support! I appreciated it.
I use Ready / Willing because it saves my dudes from a global and because of it's synergy with Manaweft Sliver (it can be potentially cast for free, not to mention it's Willing ). Sphinx's Revelation is a good card on it's own, but the reason I also keep that one lying around is because of the synergy it has with Prophet of Kruphix and the previously mentioned combo.
I forgot about Path of Bravery . In a way, it IS much better than Door of Destinies since it offers (with a condition) a small, but meaningful boost to all my creatures,and it also provides an effect similar to lifelink for just three mana. I'll give it consideration (and surely will test it out).

I believe you were thinking of removing your Syncopate , you mentioned it before you deleted your "older posts"... I wouldn't, But drop it down to X2 in main deck.
I was also looking at your X4 Galerider Sliver 's ... unless you are running Blur Sliver only have Max. X3... It is redundant to have a second... more & more redundant to have 4 of them....
That's X2 Spots open... have you used or thought of Primeval Bounty ?
You know what, I'm looking again "Bounty" might be fun to try, but with those 2 cards maybe add nothing new and add +1 AEtherling and +1 to Sentinel Sliver
I hope AEtherling is working for you... GREAT idea if Manaweft is OTB....
And as for +1 Sentinel Sliver I mentioned earlier ... a swap for 1X Galerider Sliver is still what you should think about if nothing else of my ideas... "Sliver's" becoming Vigilant & Attacker's is as good as a 1 drop Flying.... (if you did 1 drop a Galerider then he is attacking and Producing Mana on turn #2.....) but still redundant with second or third's of him.
Go Slivers!
Im debating building this deck (but currently X0 Sphinx's Revelation 's in my card inventory).... at X-Mas my little cousin beat the snot out of my Casual and Standard decks with a Blue/White deck, with Syncopate , Sphinx's Revelation , Detention Sphere , and a Jace and Elespeth in his deck, it was awesome to watch his deck go.... it really was, he almost made it thru his library twice one game... it sucked for me and i would love to throw those 3 cards back at him with these Sliver's you have...

Thanks for the input. I'm flattered.
My thoughts exactly on the Syncopate s. If not, I'll replace them with Swan Song and see how that goes.
I wish to maintain my Galerider Sliver playset. The big majority of my opponents strive to take it down, since most people have no answers for flying creatures. It also serves as a mana-ramper, most of the times, when my Manaweft Sliver shows up on turn two (thus I can save up for my Gods Willing to play it safe).
Many people are suggesting me Primeval Bounty . I always had this card in mind, but next time I go to the store, I'll surely get a copy or two to give them a spin!
You have no idea how awesomely AEtherling works on this deck...

I'd almost suggest, as talked about, dropping that one copy of Syncopate for Bident of Thassa . My reasoning for this is to have a draw engine that doesn't require you to pay any additional Mana out on the field. With your Galerider Sliver it will keep the enemies on their toes, while giving you a way to replenish your hand when Prophet of Kruphix is out on the field.
This deck made me excited for Standard Slivers, and I hope you continue to refine and play it in FNM's and report.
If you'd do me the favor and lend your expertise to my Standard sliver deck Ceta Sliver'n da Eye I'd appreciate it.
+1 from me either way.

Great to see people trying to make slivers in standard a thing +1. They're so fun to play sadly I was just never able to get them to be competitive. Have you tried this deck in FNM yet?
