Hello all,

I'm currently tinkering with an idea for a deck built around the newly announced Sliver Gravemother

This is the current work in progress


Grandma Sliver's: Home is Where the Hive is

Commander / EDH* Massacar

SCORE: 1 | 41 VIEWS | IN 1 FOLDER


My current gameplan is to have cards such as Ashes of the Fallen/Conspiracy to ensure that anything that ends up in my graveyard is a sliver. Then I can use the Gravemother's encore ability to make multiple tokens of each creature to great effect. And since everything should be a sliver, they can then have the building tribal effects that slivers are known for. I have included Embalmer's Tools and Convergence of Dominion to help lower the encore activation costs, so if there's another card that does this specifically please let me know.

I've included several tutors to use to fetch my Conspiracy effects or powerful pieces so we can try to abuse the definition of "sliver."

I'm still in the early exploratory phase of operation so I'll take any and all recommendations. If you feel like there's a critically important sliver I missed let me know, but mostly I am hoping for suggestions for legendary creatures to make into adopted slivers.

Ultimately I am looking to make this deck a 7-8 in terms of power, as I want it to be fun and ideally effective, without trying to force this thing into peak efficiency.

Sure thing shadowjules. Since every creature in the deck (aside from Pulmonic Sliver) is a changeling, they are all both Eggs and Slivers. So if you sacrifice the egg Atla makes, or just any changeling, you will reveal cards from your deck via Atla's ability to get either: 1) another changeling or 2) Pulmonic Sliver. If you get another changeling, just sacrifice it and repeat until you get Pulmonic Sliver. Once the Sliver is out, when you sacrifice a changeling you can stack your triggers so that the Sliver's ability resolves first putting the sacked changeling on top of your deck, then Atla's ability resolves to put that changeling right back into play, letting you loop the changeling forever.

This loop does nothing on its own, but any one of the following cards allow you to win from looping changelings:

Dragon Tempest
Goblin Bombardment
Impact Tremors
Altar of Dementia
Embalmer's Tools
Relic Vial
Blasting Station
Vigilante Justice
Kyren Negotiations
Outpost Siege
Where Ancients Tread
Warstorm Surge

Embalmer's Tools Might make a good addition! I love the idea

Afraid not. When a card refers to a "creature", it means a creature permanent on the battlefield. Off the battlefield, it's a "creature card". That's why the wording of Animate Dead is so wonky.

Embalmer's Tools would reduce to cost the activate that Phoenix. Zirda, the Dawnwaker would as well, because it doesn't specify a source type.

Adding Embalmer's Tools I like, but then what card to cut for it..?

Hi! I really like your list! Don't know if you're looking for recommendations, but I'd still suggest adding Embalmer's Tools. By tapping all your zombies before your turn, it allows you to generate a considerable board presence very quickly. With Sidisi out, any zombie you make by tapping the ones you already had can be used to keep the loop going since the tool's ability doesn't care about summoning sickness. Again, great list!

Phion,

To your point, I definitely appreciate that you're going "budget" with it. That's the very reason why I built it. Our playgroup is trying to stay with $200-400 deck prices.

So this deck was a perfect starting point that I could buff up just a bit (it was already really strong and overhwhelming with tokens!).

Honestly, I just dont know what I would take out and replace.

So far I'm cutting: Arguel's Blood Fast  Flip , Embalmer's Tools , Discovery / Dispersal , Gray Merchant of Asphodel , Forbidden Alchemy

The additions: Dictate of Erebos , Winter Orb , Cryptic Command , Vampiric Tutor , Demonic Tutor , Thoughseize, Feast of Dreams , Hymn to Tourach

Any ideas on what else I could cut to make room for the last few additions? Thanks!
