Welcome to my Sliver Queen Budget Build, or as I like to call it, "Losing Friends On A Budget".

Joking aside, this is an Infinite Combo deck using many of the popular combos with Sliver Queen to produce an infinite amount of 1/1 Sliver Tokens, and sometimes infinite mana as well. Thankfully since the deck is budget, it'll be a couple turns slower to win than an Ultra Competitive build, meaning that your friends may not get 'as' pissed at this deck, and without it not being viable competitively. But anyone willing to sink a Half a thousand or more into a Deck has honestly just bought their victory in a tournament.

Like with all good Combo decks, I've tried what I can to put as many tutors in here to help you fetch the right card or cards for the combo, thankfully the combos are very simple and easy to set up, meaning that even a beginner player of combos can pick up this deck and run it efficiently.

As you might expect, since Sliver Hivelord isn't the commander of this deck, your swarm will be very susceptible to player hate, however because your commander isn't Hivelord, it will also mean you will not be as big of a threat. To the untrained eye, your commander is just a slow creator of tokens, but in the eye of a competitive veteran, sliver player, or hardcore combo player, they may very well likely see what you're up to.

Most people expect a Sliver deck to just chain off eachother in an Odric, Lunarch Marshal fashion, but this deck isn't at all about that. Despite the Slivers you do run in this deck, they are there for combos, protection, and wincons. How upset your opponent will be when you pop a Necrotic Sliver whilst Sliver Queen and Mana Echoes are on the battlefield. Yeah, you've already went infinite, but don't you want your opponent's entire board to be wiped too? Of course you do.

So here below are the list of Combo pieces to make your Sliver Engine go infinite, so you know what to tutor for and not mulligan.

Sliver Queen + Mana Echoes

(Produces Infinite Mana and Tokens)

Sliver Queen + Heartstone/Training Grounds + Basal Sliver/Ashnod's Altar

(Produces Infinite Mana and Tokens)

Sliver Queen + Manaweft Sliver/Gemhide Sliver/Cryptolith Rite + Intruder Alarm + Heart Sliver/Blur Sliver/Firewake Sliver

(Produces Infinite Mana and Tokens)

Sliver Queen + Manaweft Sliver/Gemhide Sliver/Cryptolith Rite + Intruder Alarm

(Produces Infinite Tokens)

Sliver Queen + Manaweft Sliver/Gemhide Sliver/Cryptolith Rite + Heart Sliver/Blur Sliver/Firewake Sliver + Heartstone/Training Grounds

(Produces Infinite Tapped Tokens)

---

Heart Sliver/Blur Sliver/Firewake Sliver (Immediately Attack With Any Untapped Combo)

Acidic Sliver/Cautery Sliver (Immediately Lethally Burn Opponent from Infinite Mana/Token Combo)

Mnemonic Sliver (As Much Card Draw As You Want With Infinite Mana/Token Combo)

Screeching Sliver (Mill Opponents From Any Infinite Untapped Token Combo With Haste, or Any Combo Without Haste If You Don't Mind Waiting a Turn To Do It)

Darkheart Sliver/Victual Sliver/Syphon Sliver (Gain Infinite Life From Any Combo, Any Infinite Mana/Token Combo, or Any Combo With Haste With An Attack, respectively)

Necrotic Sliver (My Favorite, Completely Wipe Opponent Boards From Mana/Token Combo)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I pretty much consider this deck complete but will gladly take suggestions to see how you would differ with this kind of deck! Obviously it's budget, so it's gonna be staying under $250; sorry, no Vampiric Tutor for this deck. And of course I know there are ways to make my infinite Slivers have infinite power, but honestly if you're swinging with infinite tokens, you've already won the game.

Enjoy!
