This looks pretty cool, but has some choices I don't totally understand. Then again, I do realize that finding enough quality giants can actually be a problem. A card I'll propably get for my own giant list is Unsettled Mariner. That's pretty great tech for the deck!

Looking at artifacts, Cryptic Gateway and Belbe's Portal would be pretty great additions.

In case you want to have a look at what I made, here's the link: Calamity upon our Gates! (RGWU Giant Tribal). Would be great to hear your thoughts on the deck. I don't often get the chance to have other giant players have a look at it.

Outside protection for your Slivers, like Asceticism, Steely Resolve, Unsettled Mariner, or Golgari Charm, might help against removal (spot or board wipe, as needed).

The commander is a tutor, but more card draw is usually helpful. While drawing more cards might not always be the best option, it's rarely a bad option. Kindred Discovery, Vanquisher's Banner, Elemental Bond, or Pact of the Serpent all work.

Oh, I meant Unsettled Mariner. It sort of functions like a tutorable Thalia, Guardian of Thraben against storm type decks.

Cool Deck, +1 :)
4 Selfless Spirit seem too many considering that there are currently not many mass-removal spells in the meta, you could exchange 2 for Unsettled Mariner.
With 3 Cemetery Illuminator already in the maindeck you have good graveyard hate, I recommend cutting the 3rd Remorseful Cleric for a Blossoming Calm to improve your matchup against burn.

I’ve found Unsettled Mariner to be very useful. As a Shapeshifter he counts as a Spirit so he gets all the buffs, and the static counter effect works well in the early game. Incidentally, I’ve always heard it pronounced “Krāken”, with the long ā sound.

Airborne Aid cares about birds, everyone's birds/changelings even, as does Soraya the Falconer, but you've probably got enough coolness points off of OG Kangee. Unsettled Mariner would be a handy effect I expect. You could try Dovescape, it's very 'bird-centric', and you can have pretty beefy birds in the air compared to their 1/1s. Dovescape can also combo with some cards, I use it with Malevolent Hermit  ^Flip Disturbed to get free Doves whenever I cast a relevant spell, while everyone else has everything countered, there are other combos that might be better in your metas, like infinite birds via Guile.

Sweet deck, lots of love for an old border Commander!

Secluded Courtyard and Ancient Ziggurat would let you go into 5 colors which is what slivers really wants to do. That would let you use more utility lands like Scavenger Grounds if you want. It would also open up slivers you currently can't use like Leeching Sliver and Diffusion Sliver. Unsettled Mariner and Realmwalker are pretty decent as well.

Hey, thanks! I'm running 4 Unsettled Mariner at the moment. I love Giver of Runes but the one drop slot is pretty full. I like having Judge's Familiar for evasion and that last additional tax haha
