Modern forum
Posted on Feb. 22, 2015, 4:02 p.m. by tyforthevenom
Manaweft Sliver and Gemhide Sliver are automatically excluded from the lists due to being obvious

That is a fair point, Venom. I apologize for my behavior.

@tyforthevenom You ask for the top 5 slivers, but ask people not to mention two of those (the mana slivers) i think that count's as ridiculous restrictions. Besides which slivers isn't particularly good in modern, they're much better in EDH, in which case the top slivers are all of them.

"Hell of a restriction" It not a restriction it's asking you to not assume I'm brain dead

If you aren't brain dead, then why'd you ask?
If you aren't brain dead, then do what you do in every thread you start, and tell us we're wrong and how we can be right.

generally speaking, playing one bad card to make another bad card better is a bad idea. Slivers fall into that category. they are only good in hordes, and playing cards that rely too heavily on others is just asking to be blown out. I mean, you have no game against combo decks, no game against control decks, and are just too slow against agro decks.

further more, this is like asking about the top 5 merfolk. Phantasmal Image is going to be on that list. or really any list running tribal with blue. it doesn't matter that it is an illusion. it is going to be whatever you want it to be!

Lazarus I d know why I ask I almost always end up being condescended or someone like schuess answers things like "use this card" when it's not legal or just blindingly obvious (see condescending comment) (exact quote "use muscle sliver" it's not modern legal)

tyforthevenom says... #11
Bolas again I kn image is a good f* card hence why I didn't ask the best cards for the deck and why I didn't list this in deck help

I'm sorry but repetitively giving answers to unasked questions really pmo

My thing is you want help with what to put into your modern slivers deck. is that correct? if not, then you had no need to ask the question. if so, this should have been posted in the deck help forum.
February 22, 2015 9:05 p.m.
tyforthevenom says... #15
No CommanderOfBolas my question is which SLIVERS to put into it other than mana slivers gale rider and the red first strike sliver it's not the most obvious
February 22, 2015 9:07 p.m.
You should put in Slivers that say sliver in the name and type and that make other Slivers slightly playable because the deck itself isn't playable at all.
February 22, 2015 9:13 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #17
ok. so you aren't sure which slivers to put into it. either way, you are asking about YOUR deck, and therefore this is a deck help question.
February 22, 2015 9:18 p.m.
tyforthevenom says... #18
I appreciate your invalid opinion, it's invalid as my FNM does modern tribal it's limited to tribal decks and modern restrictions thus it's modern slivers

slovakattack says... #19
Opinions aren't invalid by nature... dude... you really aren't making it easy to empathize with you...
February 22, 2015 9:20 p.m.
tyforthevenom says... #20
Bolas it originally started as getting unbiased suggestions for general information but then I got a ton of answers that are not answering the question at hand, helping my deck is a byproduct of the thread but avoiding letting people know I wan info on my deck normally allows me avoid the stupid

VampireArmy says... #21
To be honest this whole thread is violent shitposting. Like...damn
February 22, 2015 9:24 p.m.
tyforthevenom says... #22
slovakattack continued bad reactions from the word go aren't making me want to be empathised with, first the trolling then the condescension then just disrespect
February 22, 2015 9:26 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #23
you realize that you don't have to play tribal, right? if you are playing modern, you can play whatever you want that is modern legal.
also, there is something people used to be taught in the world. it is called tact, which is the ability to deal with others without creating offense, and it is clearly an ability you lack. instead of getting defensive and lashing out, you should be specific about your goals and the requirements to begin with. When someone fails to meet those requirements, don't respond in an offensive manner, just say something like, "i appreciate your comment, but that isn't what im looking for. I need X because of Y. can you think of anything else that would be helpful."
I guarantee you would get fewer trolls and more helpful comments if you acted like that

CommanderOfBolas I don't have to play tribal at modern tribal night? Tell me how to do this

chrishuffman95 says... #25
He obviously missed that post. Hostility isn't really needed, is it?
That being said, if you still want constructive assistance, I agree with the previous posters that limiting the deck to three colors over five would be most effective. Pulmonic Sliver is one of the ones I'd favor
February 22, 2015 9:32 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #26
that is exactly the kind of comment that attracts the trolls. instead of responding with "i think you misread my earlier comment. my lgs has a modern tribal night that I would like to attend," you choose to be a dick with your response. see why people are coming to troll you?

I'm sorry for being cranky after being trolled from before I woke up this morning, I encounter so many trolls I could fill the cast for the entire Tolkien series of movies
February 22, 2015 9:34 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #28
I get that you are frustrated, but trolls exist because they feed on reactions like the ones you have given. don't feed the trolls, and they will learn to leave you alone. I promise that trolls will cease to bother you if you kill them with unsarcastic kindness.

If you want a more appropriate answer maybe you should be more specific. Say in the description a detailed explanation of what you want. Giving something as lame as "don't mention these" just gives the feeling that you are being ... gee I don't even know the words for it right now.
Something like this would have been better:
"I'm wondering what are the top 5 best slivers in the modern meta right now and for what reasons are they the best. I'm looking only for sliver creatures so don't mention anything else, and don't mention the mana slivers either. Thanks for the help~"

Femme_Fatale I thought the initial question within the title was very specific, any misunderstandings were purely people internationally reading between the lines

GlistenerAgent says... #31
If you want people to give you the answers you want, be more specific. Your lack of punctuation and curt wording makes it hard to understand where you are coming from and hard to want to help you.

tyforthevenom says... #32
Blame spellcheck for the punctuation and as for my curt wording I am generally a nice guy til you annoy me at which point I'm the biggest cock around, "the nicest guys turn into the biggest assholes when you get on their bad side" I didn't deserve the initial bad reaction I g that made me angry, almost everyone on the internet has stronger reactions on the internet than irl. I guess I'm saying is don't throw the first stone if you know you don't like the reaction you already know you'll get

Femme_Fatale says... #33
Your general lack of attention to detail in this post makes it seem like you really don't care what people suggest. And your topic title should have been titled "What are the top 5 slivers in modern?" as that would make you seem much more open and accepting rather than closed off and mean. The two sentences create a drastically different atmosphere for people. Asking a question will have people become more open to you and will be more willing to contribute in a meaningful manner to the discussion. Of course, this would all be curtailed if you give a terrible opening paragraph. Once again, detail and clearly accepting open discussion are the key things here.

Spell check does not stop you from using punctuation.

Anyone who doesn't feel like the nature of the prompt, created by the poster of this thread, is a valid one or is otherwise ridiculous is encouraged to move on.
