Alright, the combos in this deck are really complicated... but that's what makes it fun! Anyway, do you guys have any ideas for this deck? I know the hulk flash combo is banned in tournaments and a lightning bolt using the infinite mana would make it win faster, but this is meant for casual fun play. Thanks a bunch!

Let me know if you don't understand some of the combos.

OK, I have one question... is the infinite mana combo from Pili-Pala and Grand Architect affected by summoning sickness? Since grand architect's ability is not an activated ability, and pili-pala is the helpless victim of that ability, it should work as soon as they come out, right?

About Pili-Pala, the "untap" symbol is like the "tap" symbol but in the opposite direction. Abilities with it as part of their cost can't be activated while the creature has summoning sickness.

Is there another artifact/enchantment similar to hivestone that can make all my creatures slivers as well? I think there is an older artifact card that gives all creatures you control changeling, do you by any chance know what that is?

I currently have some difficulty getting hivestone when I need it... any ideas?

Thanks!!!

Mirror Entity does it. Besides that, Conspiracy or Xenograft might do the trick for you.

OK, I think it's nearly complete... I just need to thin it down to 60 cards. Any ideas on what to remove?

Also, any ideas on which cards to add from the side/maybeboards?

Alright, I have one question about Hivestone ... do the creature cards still in my library become slivers as well? I'm thinking of using sliver overlord to pull creatures out from my deck, so would I need to use hivestone or Conspiracy ?

"Creatures you control" only ever means creatures that are on the battlefield. So yes, Conspiracy is the only thing that will let you make a play like that.

Will crystalline sliver negate the abilities of all other slivers?

Crystalline Sliver

If those abilities require a target, then yes. Crypt Sliver gets shut down, so does Firewake Sliver . Might Sliver , Toxin Sliver and Sliver Legion will all still operate.

Would Sliver Overlord 's effects still work if a Crystalline Sliver is out?

Also, would it destroy the Pili-Pala & Grand Architect combo as well, if a hivestone is on the field too?

His first would work, his second wouldn't. If Pili-Pala was already blue before Crystalline sliver came out it would be fine, but otherwise Grand Architect's blue-turning ability needs a target.

Are there any alternatives you know of to card:Summoner's Pact that I could use to put a Protean Hulk into my hand early in the game? Summoner's pact is nice, but it just leaves me really vulnerable because the only way I can repay the mana cost is to tutor out my Pili-Pala and Grand Architect , and then wait a whole turn and pray nobody has a Doom Blade .

Worldly Tutor is the only one that springs to mind. Or something like Vampiric Tutor or Imperial Seal

How can I pay their mana costs with only blue mana?

Is Sliver Overlord s ability affected by summoning sickness?

Nope. SS only affects tap abilities and attacking.

card:Green Sun's Zenith would get Protean Hulk directly into play and only need one green mana.

Although Vampiric Tutor and Imperial Seal are probably better as you can get anything you need not just one green creature. Of course those are both banned in Legacy so it would depend on what your intentions are for this deck.
