MAJOR Update —Dec. 14, 2017
My previous build with Queen as commander worked really well in my playgroup...too well. No one is super competitive so me going infinite by turn 4-5 was usually no fun to play against. Instead, I have rebuilt the deck around Overlord and more of a tribal feel. I made my mana base less consistent by removing the full set of shocks and adding some basic lands instead. So far the results are that the deck is good enough to win with who I play against, but not so much that I win every game

I had overlord at first, and it makes sense for a tribal sliver deck, however right now I have it built to mainly combo out with queen. For that reason, I have found the deck runs smoother if I have access to my main combo engine consistently instead of just being able to tutor her. Also, the other reason I built this deck is nostalgia purposes (see description) and queen works better for that for me

First of all this is hella spicy. I love it. My ONE critique is that you could use more any/all creature type cards. Metallic Mimic and Descendants' Path especially.

Also Kindred Summons is a BOMB. Heirloom Blade is also fun.

Those are all solid suggestions and all cards I already have, so even better haha. I will try out some of them and see. Thanks for the feedback!

Actually anything with KINDRED in its name is worth checking out. Kindred Charge, Kindred Boon.

+1 for slivers. I used to run them, but they're too easy to go infinite with.

Decklist looks pretty fantastic. Have you thought about Conspiracy?

The problem I have with a card like Conspiracy is if I rely too much on it to turn my own creatures into slivers, its an enchantment, can easily be destroyed, and I can only run 1 copy in a 100 card deck, so seems shaky

What do you think about Aggravated Assault?
With a Manaweft Sliver or Gemhide Sliver in play and another 4/5 slivers out you can go infinite combat steps/infinite mana.
Or it can help with the beatdown if you fall short.

I think you need to replace your commander with Overlord, because it can actually tutor for the Queen.
