Ode to the Old Commanders: Ta-ta-ta Tokens!

I'll treat yours as a Bracket 2 with no tutors.
Okay, so replace Savra, Queen of the Golgari with Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos. I'm assuming you want the card advantage, but this is better because 1) any of your creatures dying triggers it, and 2) it doesn't cost you life. At the same time, it won't gain you life either the way Savra will, but since lifegain is negligible...yeah.
Anguished Unmaking > Mortify Sure, you shock yourself, but you exile (which is permanent except for like, two cards that no one ever plays) any nonland permanent.
Morbid Opportunist is insane in Ghave. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to draw on each turn (not "each of your turns", each turn). The same goes for Welcoming Vampire.
Have you considered No Mercy? Ghave is kind of a KOS commander because of his potential for combos and Stax. No Mercy punishes players for attacking you.
Fertilid is just bad. I'd rather play Explosive Vegetation than Fertilid, and there are like, five strictly betters for Veggies.
Viscera Seer and Jar of Eyeballs are nice for consistency.
Blade of the Bloodchief gives you more +1/+1 counters.
Spike Weaver is another "just try and attack me" card. I like it more than Spike Feeder, which is only good in that it goes infinite with Archangel of Thune. Since you're trying to avoid infinite combos, I would avoid going that way.
Corpse Knight, Bastion of Remembrance, Cruel Celebrant, Zulaport Cutthroat, just pick a couple of these because they add a win condition in case an opponent uses Ghostly Prison and friends, or worse, Moat.

This deck is a bit too ambitious when it comes to mutlicolour spells. You also can't block until turn 6. 4x Crackling Doom, 2x Esper Charm, 2x Inevitable Defeat and 8x bombs means your hand is a nothingburger at the start of the game. Another big problem with this deck is you have very little card advantage and card selection, so you can't control the board enough to actually play your bombs.
I really like Goblin Dark-Dwellers and your inclusion of Anguished Unmaking, Mortify and early game Lightning Helix. Kolaghan's Command is cool but your deck doesn't churn and also doesn't have many creatures. Cut / Ribbons doesn't make sense because you're not going to get enough mana for an efficient lethal. You're going to win by control. You should play Flame Slash or Lightning Bolt or something else.
Momentary Blink doesn't benefit this deck as much as Negate.
Here's a package of cards you could consider to add more Churn and bring your deck back down to a more midrange area:
Your mana base would benefit from lands that can produce four colours of mana like Unknown Shores.
Your deck idea is lit btw. I haven't thought of this yet.

Hey all,
I never seem to find a moment to just sit down and answer comments, so sorry for the wait. Doombeard1984, I've been noticing a trend at more competitive tables that players are favoring non-basics over just regular islands. I'd contemplate cutting Carpet of Flowers for another interaction piece like Flusterstorm
or the aforementioned Aura Shards. I'd have to give it some thought on what would be a good replacement. Nature's Claim has to stay in though, as it's interaction without any caveats which is my personal preference, plus that sweet TimeSpiral Remastered old border foil just gets my neurons going.
And Mother Sliver Queen's Blessings upon you as well. May you generate many Slivers.
Hi Daevied. I do believe the deck could be downgraded to a Bracket 3 deck with the simple removal of all but maybe 3 game changers. The identity of the deck lies in the curated list of Slivers - the rest is just to ensure your opponents can't thwart your plans. I highly encourage you to try your hand at your own iteration of the deck, some spells i'd suggest including would be:
- Arcane Denial
- An Offer You Can't Refuse
- Heroic Intervention
- Clever Concealment
- Aura Shards (i'm still considering this spell for my own iteration)
- Negate
- Mortify
- Kindred Dominance
- Get Lost
- Skyshroud Claim
That's just a list of spells i'd consider - nothing definitive mind you. If you do follow through with your decklist please send me a link to the page. I always like to see what other Hives are brewing.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Put Ruthless Lawbringer …
1 year ago
I am contemplating putting Ruthless Lawbringer into these two EDH decks of mine, because of its obvious synergy with the themes of those decks, but I am not certain of what card I should remove to make room for it; Mortify is the most obvious choice, due to it having the same mana cost as the lawbringer, but I would like to ask everyone here for their advice, on this matter.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I put Ruthless Lawbringer into those two decks of mine?

Like wallisface said, this looks very susceptible to removal spells. 3x Loran's Escape is probably not sufficient. Invisible Stalker is a great creature for a deck such as this. If you can find creatures that have built in durability/protection, those tend to be favored in aura decks like this. To that end, if not creatures, there are def auras that can help give your creatures more staying power - Hyena Umbra being high on that list.
I don't think All That Glitters is worth it. It's half an Ethereal Armor at double the MV.
1xHall of Heliod's Generosity seems pretty valuable here. I also think 4 more dual lands would help, especially given how many spells you have that require either or WW or BB to cast. (something many people try to avoid in non-monocolored decks) And personally, when I play with black, I usually include 1xBojuka Bog and often 1xCastle Locthwain.
I also suggest limiting instants like Fracture to the sideboard as much as possible. You want/need as many enchantments down as possible. Use spells like On Thin Ice as much as you can. Classics like Journey to Nowhere and Oblivion Ring aren't the lowest MV or as fast as instants, but the bump to the enchantments that care is worth it.
The thing I really like about Kor Spiritdancer is the draw card. Almost every deck needs a way to draw extra cards, and repeatable effects are among the most powerful. That also makes your 'dancer even more of a target. It may well be easier to use different creatures and add a draw card spell than it is to protect and draw cards from your 'dancer. It's a tantalizing, but difficult creature to successfully build around.
When it comes to the sideboard, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to include spells duplicate mainboard spells. IE, Fatal Push isn't doing anything Path to Exile doesn't already do well. Kaya's Guile, on the other hand, using the sacrifice mechanic, does do something Path doesn't - it get's around hexproof AND indestructible. You might find Extirpate useful. Fracture should be in the sideboard. That eliminates the need for Mortify.

Really cool deck! Maybe Switch Mortify for Anguished Unmaking since it’s more versatile.
