This must be one of the most expensive edh decks I have seen. I dunno if I like Sliver Queen as head boss lady, but the deck looks like a pretty awesome concept. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of this beatfest. +1 my good man.

Mana Echoes will give you infinite colorless mana with queen for a 3 mana investment. Maybe worth it to pay the colorless costs of your beaters? (also gives you infinite tokens.

A couple suggestions for getting them out fast are Dragon Arch although I only count 7 multicolored creatures, but it may be worthwhile, and Dream Halls which is ridiculous, especially when running Progenitus . Also, Fabricate is a great card to search up quicksilver amulet or "The Top."

Proteus Staff can get your creatures out for a sacrifice, and it buries opponents' Commanders and Ionas and Blightsteels etc.

I've had a Sliver Queen EDH in my mind for a while, and I love the concept here. Sounds like lots of fun and even some winning! +1

Also card:Green Sun's Zenith , Braids, Conjurer Adept , and Genesis Wave (!!!) can cheat things out.

I put up Royal Jelly, partially inspired by this deck! :)

Omniscience would be funny.

That would be pretty hilarious and awesome actually...perhaps I'll get one and try it out! I'm still short a Eureka in this deck; when that comes in I may try Omniscience

Upvote! This deck looks scary to play against, but you weren't joking about budget differences. Very nice.

As strange as it sounds, Mycosynth Lattice could find a home in this deck simply for the second and third ability

I hate to break it to you but Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is not an artifact

Ohthenoises says... #12

Not really sure where that matters? Show and Tell hits creatures and no one has said that he is an artifact.

I was more referring to the fact that it would be fun to play Progenitus or another fat multi-colored spell all with the same color mana due to Mycosynth Lattice 's abilities if the game goes long.

Who said anything about Ulamog being an artifact?...

Yeah, I like Child of Alara as a WUBRG general. Except it probably paints a target on your head...a little.

Child of Alara i don't think would work as well for me just because I have minimal graveyard recursion and I'd rather not have all my permanents like Quicksilver Amulet , Sneak Attack , Greater Good , etc die on my account--I'd rather other people use their removal on me to deal with my things. Don't want I help them out toooo much :-). However, it's possible that Child of Alara could be very useful in a pinch when I really need everything to die.... I'll consider it! And try to get my hands on one haha.

Really, more than anything, the main card missing in this deck is Eureka , which I've been on the hunt for for some time now haha.

Also, Sliver Queen already gets too much hate from everyone for my liking, even tho it is fairly underpowered in the deck I'm playing. It's more of an enabler for colors and random tokens to pitch to sac outlets with Butcher of Malakir in play.

@alexsmith21: Mycosynth Lattice might seem to be good here, but 1) it doesn't follow the theme of attacking with big creatures, and 2) I should never be hardcasting my big stuff--I might be in trouble if I have to do that at that point in the game. Also it turns off card:Summoner's Pact which is sad :-( haha.

But I really appreciate everyone's suggestions, ideas, and comments. Thanks a bunch! Keep 'em coming if you'd like :-)

Oh my bad I misread the combo

ameuser says... #17

Oh ok. Hey no problem. Do you play a lot of commander?

August 12, 2012 12:52 a.m.

Long_Con says... #18

I try Deadeye Navigator sometimes, but it usually ends up getting taken out because it's ONLY a combo card, and it just sucks without something to combo with. I love the card and its potential with things like Angel of Despair , Acidic Slime , Thragtusk , etc... but it still gets cut.

I play a lot of Commander... one of the scariest decks I have seen is a Sedris, the Traitor King deck.

ameuser says... #19

Is that deck on tappedout? Also, I may switch out Novablast Wurm for Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur . I think that might be more disruptive than the wurm...

I'm personally note a huge fan of Child of Alara as a general because it's the one board wipe spell that you can't really control. You could play it as an easy access emergency button, but what's the fun of that? Sliver Queen is pretty good, as you never have leftover mana when she's on the board. However, if your other players are too eager to kill slivers and you want to cheat out Progenitus , I see only one solution: Cromat :D

Haha yeah I just traded my [[]] awaysadly, but that's an option. Generally though, it doesn't matter if people get freaked out because of Sliver Queen --with so many winning creatures entering the battlefield so early, it's often fairly hard to stop, and if the game truly becomes strictly archenemy, I take a lot of pleasure in wiping out the board and/or life of the one player who exclusively targeted me the most :-). The deck wasn't made to win initially, at least necessarily; it was supposed to be just a fun deck that attacked with fatties (there's very little control effects in the deck besides Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur which is a new addition). When it won sometimes, I decided to make it better but still keep it an "attack-mode" deck.

I play a little here and there

ameuser says... #25

I see! I used to play standard and legacy a couple years ago but learned about commander and loved it. I mostly just do limited tournaments to get my fill of competition, and commander games with friends and free commander tournanents now.
