A few questions:

Why Fury Sliver over Bonescythe Sliver ?

How interchangeable is Blur Sliver with Heart Sliver ?

How well do you think Bloom Tender , Burnished Hart , or Solemn Simulacrum would work with this?

Lastly I am thinking about these slivers do you they would warrant exchanging out certain silvers for them and if so which ones for which? The sliver being Venom Sliver , Sidewinder Sliver , Horned Sliver , and lastly Constricting Sliver .

Hi Octogone!

"Why Fury Sliver over Bonescythe Sliver ?"

Er...uh...because I was testing you. Yes! Yes! You passed. Congrats. My not including the better Bonescythe sliver was absolutely intentional.

"How interchangeable is Blur Sliver with Heart Sliver ?"Despite my error above, I favor the lower casting cost, but I do think they are easily enough interchangeable. Between the two, I'd personally rather run Heart Sliver.

"How well do you think Bloom Tender , Burnished Hart , or Solemn Simulacrum would work with this?"Very well, in fact. Those are great cards for this deck. A good place to swap out for them would be the 'Support' spells tier (as shown in the video), possibly the 'Board Wipe' tier, or of course the 'Other' spells tier. Take out something you're not a fan of in those tiers in exchange for those spells.

"The sliver being Venom Sliver , Sidewinder Sliver , Horned Sliver , and lastly Constricting Sliver ."Those are all great choices. I'm least fond of Sidewinder, but I still think it is a great choice, and again, a lot of this comes down to personal play style.

I can't believe you didn't mention Patriarch's Bidding in the video!

It's a great way to recover from a very late boardwipe, which usually nets you the win if left unanswered.

If you where looking to upgrade your land base, should you get all of the shock, pain and original duel lands along with city of brass and mana confluence? Or would that just be excessive?

Nice video and nice deck. I absolutely HATE slivers, though. But everyone has their own kind of deck that they love (I <3 FLICKER). Anyways, good deck.(I watched the video before coming here btw, I am subscribed :D)

i've noticed you didn't include some budget fetches that are hardly known due to being slower or too old for newer players Thawing Glaciers and Krosan Verge cycle make for good picks if you aks me

Hi, I was just wondering how playable Hunter Sliver, Venom Sliver, Horned Sliver, and Toxin Sliver were?

Also, I feel like if you are starting out with this deck then caven of souls probably too big of an investment to make and could be probably substituted for a different cards and upgraded later.

Singleton so it increases your odds at getting flying

why's there not Sliver Queen or Syphon Sliver ? Where isMegantic Sliver or Sliver Legion ? You're missing out on some of the best sliver cards! But it's a great start.

tyforthevenom says... #13

since when is Megantic Sliver anywhere near one of the best slivers, queen is out of budget if you'd watched the video as is legion

Why not use the TriTapLands from KTK? Or Transguild Promenade?

Perhaps putting in Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Sedge Sliver to replace Clot Sliver , since it would buff your Slivers and allow regeneration for cheaper, since Urborg makes everything a swamp.

The_Evis says... #16

Oh, perhaps Door of Destinies to replace Sliver Legion?? more friendly on our wallets but sort of serves the same purpose, but it can't be tutored by the Sliver Overlord .

Should we add Mirror Entity to this deck? It counts as a sliver, and it allows us to beef up our army's base power/toughness.

Transguild promenade is the same thing as rupture spire! Add it in. Also add door of destinies

Is it a valid idea to add wedgeland's instead of panorama's?

Something to keep in mind since I use it in my EDH? Why Not Slivers?. Tribal changeling spells can be tutored out at instant speed with Sliver Overlord . This means that you can use Crib Swap to turn their Omnath, Locus of Mana into a sliver then steal it with Sliver Overlord .

The other one that has semi limited use but is a great way to pick off utility creatures is Nameless Inversion .

Ever think of the enchantment Call to the Kindred ? you can flood the board with slivers without paying mana costs. It can be very deadly early game.

Hey, I was wondering if you thought Maelstrom Nexus would be good in this deck
