Nice deck! I like the inclusion of Amoeboid Changeling and the combo of the overlord's tutor ability with Omniscience.

Some notes: you seem to have a lot of populate, like Wake the Reflections, but only two token generation cards. Also, you don't run enough artifacts to sacrifice to Throne of Geth. I'd take that out.

I'd add Illusionist's Bracers to equip your commander so you can tutor for two slivers for the price of one. Also makes Omniscience work better too.

Also maybe add some artifact mana ramp. Sol Ring, Darksteel Ingot and Chromatic Lantern to start.

You could add Fist of Suns to possibly play Omniscience on turn 6 or so, instead of turn 9-11. Also once you've done that you can sacrifice Fist of Suns to Throne of Geth if you leave it in there.

I've had Sliver Overlord built for a few years. I started out with a budget build (in all except the mana base, because I already had the duals/fetches), so I feel like I can help you out given what I've tried over the past 2-3 years. For reference, my deck is here: Za Warudo! (Sliver Overlord Aggro).

Cryptolith Rite is pretty reasonable in Slivers as you run a fair number of 1 drops. T1 Galerider or first strike Sliver into Rite is a pretty strong opening play, especially considering how many of your lands ETB tapped.

I'd also recommend adding around 4 more lands and possibly Burgeoning. I playtested this deck to get a feel for it, and five tests in a row I wasn't able to play Overlord until turn 6 or later in any of those cases because I continually missed land drops, and with a large number of the lands entering tapped, it slowed the deck down even a turn further. In any event, a lot of your lands ETBing tapped doesn't hurt so badly when you dump out a large number of them early, and Burgeoning would let you untap with 4 lands on your second turn fairly easily. In any case, 32 lands is the same number I run in my Arcum and Breya decks, which have a waaaaaay lower curve and lots more accelerators (like 15-20 ramp cards so I can play things out on turns 2-4)

Potential land inclusions:

Exotic Orchard. Cheap, but very powerful. Unless your meta is full of monocolored decks, this land tends to be reasonable for entering untapped. Similarly, Fellwar Stone is a nice 2 mana rock with the same ability that comes down a turn earlier than most of your other mana rocks. Opal Palace is kind of trashy, maybe try Orchard over it?

Forbidden Orchard is under $5, enters untapped, and all it does is give opponents 1/1 tokens. Typically not that big of an issue, especially in multiplayer.

Slivers that I've found invaluable over the years:

Hibernation Sliver is a real MVP. Paying 2 life to save one of your important creatures is incredible and hardly a cost, at all. I love bouncing Overlord back to hand with a Clone on the stack (because you know they're just going to try and steal your overlord), and it can protect a portion of your board state from exile wipes, and more. During grindy games, it is one of the Slivers I go for quite a lot of the time. I think it would do you more good than Ghostflame Sliver, since you're not even running the All Is Dust that combos with that card.

Frenetic Sliver is also quite good. Use its ability with a board wipe on the stack and it's a 50/50 chance to keep a Sliver you otherwise would not have been afforded the opportunity to keep. I'd run that over Unexpected Results, which has always just seemed like a bad card and a way to waste 4 mana in the game (considering you can tutor any Sliver for 3 mana + its casting cost, guaranteed).

Necrotic Sliver. Not having it is a mistake. Repeatable, instant speed, no-restrictions removal is huge in Commander and lets you bust up combos like none other. Losing a Sliver or two can make the difference between losing and staying in a game. Highly recommended. Popping Bruna with her trigger on the stack is hilarious, for example (or in response to equipping Boots or Greaves).

Left a comment on your forums post. Also, +1 for ya.

No offence, but the Sliver Overlord does seem to be about to lapedance, to the best of his abilities, to a unknow audience.

Have you considered Prismatic Geoscope? It's a great mana rock for Slivers if you're on a budget. Plus, it works with your landbase since you are running 5 color, and you have all the basic land types represented.

The brand new Vanquisher's Banner may be worth considering. While the power boost is fairly insignificant as compared to Coat of Arms, it can generate fairly decent card draw, particularly if you have a number of low-costed slivers.

Amulet of Vigor could also prove helpful to your deck, as 40% of your lands enter tapped.

If I were you, I would slide that Sliver Legion into the command zone.

The_Munchkin says... #15

ewok2000 I really find Sliver Legion the least appealing of the potential commanders. He doesn't really provide any value outside of straight aggro. I tend to play games more slow paced (relatively), so the aggro really isn't what I'm looking for. All of the other commanders have some extra abilities that just make them better in my opinion.

That being said, I might look at slotting in The First Sliver as the commander

Firstly, +1 for the hive.

So, I am currently running my sliver deck with Jokulhaups ... Its like armageddon... But worse lol. Its great if you have Sliver Hivelord out and mana creators, it usually makes people scoop. Another good one is the new Spiteful Sliver , Blasphemous Act and Sliver Hivelord . Wipe boards and then with the damage, can legit kill a table.

If you can afford it Yawgmoth's Will is also super powerful in this deck.

Last_Laugh Its even better when Sliver Hivelord is flashed out with Quick Sliver to put an end to all this Extinction nonsense.

So, looks like you've got 7 panels here. I can split them into groups where you can split different images across multiple panels. Can you pick a couple of images to put in the panels? I can pick some placeholders if you don't want to find any of your own right now

September 18, 2019 12:01 a.m.

The_Munchkin says... #25

scotchtapedsleeves Some placeholders are fine for now. I will look for some images to replace them with later this week. Thanks so much for your help.
