Sliver Planeswalker

Any advice on making my sliver planeswalker better or is it good to go? Also, do you know of any places that I might be able to get it MADE? A few friends of mine are wanting to make planeswalkers for their decks and this one goes in my deck.
I actually think he's pretty balanced except for the ultimate. I like him. Nice job. Maybe make the Ultimate 9

3 things:
1, I'd change his minus to "Search your library for a nonlegendary Sliver card, reveal that card, and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library." That way, there's instant infinite combos with Sliver Queen and Mana Echoes, no Sliver Hivelod BS or instantly making all slivers indestructible, etc.
2, I'd change the ultimate on Trask. I don't like it in a Sliver deck, and it's objectively weak; the minus is stronger. My idea would be some sort of emblem effect, maybe "You get an emblem with 'Sliver creatures you control get flying if there is a creature either in a graveyard or on the battlefield with flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, shroud, shadow, indestructible, lifelink, reach, trample and vigilance.'" It's wordy, but whatever. Also, reduce the cost on the ultimate from 15 to maybe 11 for mine or 9 for yours.
3, his starting loyalty needs to be reworked slightly. I'd think that 4 would be totally fine for him.

Having to cast it at 5 different colors, I feel it's fine at 5 loyalty.

I think it'd be better if the -4 ability was "Sacrifice a sliver, then search your library for a sliver card and put it onto the battlefield. Shuffle your library."

Maybe his ult could be -10 (debatable number) "Until the end of turn Trask the Sentient Sliver becomes a sliver creature named Trask insert name here with power and toughness equal to the number of slivers you control"
Just thought it would be cool and synergistic.

Nah an Ulti needs to give you permanent field presence like all the Slivers in your grave or an emblem that would turn the game in your favor. A temporary boost like a 1 turn creature wouldn't be a good ulti.

I think your very close. I would maybe change the mana cost to something like Reaper King, perhaps his ultimate should be an emblem with that ability rather than a just one use, and maaaaybe slight tweaking of his abilities but I do like what you have here :)

-9: For each Sliver you control, you may search your library for a card with the same name as that permanent. Put those cards onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. Creatures you control gain Haste until end of turn.

You could make an emblem,
You you may cast sliver creatures without paying their mana cost. Those creatures gain haste.

There was another thread that had the idea of a Sliver that gave other Slivers Annihilator 1. You could just make that the Ulti of this card.
-9: You gain an emblem with "Sliver creatures you control gain Annihilator 1."

Annihilator has nothing to do with Slivers in the slightest.

First off I totaly disagree with Jacques cause if your goal is to put it in an EDH deck (which this card seems to be geared toward) than that ult would be useless, second I would make him start with 7 loyalty (just like all the other 
slivers P/T) or starting at 5 with the casting cost W/2,U/2,B/2,R/2,G/2 and ETB with an extra loyalty counter for every 
spent to cast him (weather if be from the alt cost rather than a colored mana or from the extra spent casting him from the command zone each consecutive time) then do something like.......
+2 you may put a sliver permanent card from your hand on to the battle field.
-5 search your deck and graveyard for a sliver permanent card reveal that card and put it in your hand.
-10 for each sliver permanent on the battlefield put a token that's a copy of that permenant on to the battlefield under your control.
Tarsk the sentient sliver can be your commander

I have read over all your comments, and I thank you all for the advice. I am currently working on fixing the holes in Trask. Will post an updated card once I finish.

The Ultimate could make the static abilities of slivers in the GY still affect the board. Not sure how to word that though.

"You get an emblem with 'Sliver creatures you control get flying if there is a creature either in a graveyard or on the battlefield with flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, shroud, shadow, indestructible, lifelink, reach, trample and vigilance,'" as suggested before. If you want to limit it to slivers, be my guest.

I would probably change his starting loyalty to 4. Tutoring up a free Sliver Legion or Sliver Hivelord the turn it comes out seems a little overpowered if he stays on the board afterwards. The ultimate on the other hand, you could probably lower the cost on, probably to -9 or so (compare to the ult on Liliana Vess).
