Changes, lots of them. —Nov. 17, 2015
I finally got the chance to pilot this deck in a tournament, and while play testing was fun, it's totally different when you're in a pod and other players are running interference against you. I added some pump slivers, Sinew Sliver, Muscle Sliver, as well as Door of Destinies. I think winning through lethal, especially commander lethal, needs to be a main strategy because it can happen fast with Slivers - especially with Virulent Sliver, which I've also added.
I also added Idyllic Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Worldly Tutor, and Eladamri's Call. It's a five color deck, not having tutors to call up for answers or pieces to reinforce your board state is just silly. For running 38 lands, I also experienced a low amount of land drops surprisingly. I added Hunting Wilds and Oracle of Mul Daya for some extra bit of ramp.
I also added some non-sliver creatures like Sun Titan because with so many 3 cmc or less permanents in this deck, he's just TOO good. I liked the idea of Treasury Thrull, but he's too slow. Scavenging Ooze is a must because I play in a meta that likes to abuse graveyards. I'm also giving Alesha, Who Smiles at Death a shot because being able to recur Slivers, even during combat, is pivotal. The ability to bounce back from a board wipe with Patriarch's Bidding will no doubt be crucial, and Temur Ascendancy with the pump Slivers, Door of Destinies and other pump effects will be card draw that is sorely needed.
