WUBRG deck with Sliver Overlord as commander and Slivers as commanded.

Built with reference to http://edhrec.com/commander/sliver-overlord/ and http://edhrec.com/commander/cromat/.

Suggestions are welcome!

Sliver Overlord is an incredible Sliver commander. It is a 7/7, so it can take down an opponent via Commander damage in three direct hits.

Its first ability allows it to tutor for Slivers that can grant it and each other useful abilities, loosely grouped as:

Protection abilities: Sliver Hivelord, Sedge Sliver, Bonescythe Sliver, Crystalline Sliver,Hibernation Sliver, Pulmonic Sliver, and Quick Sliver.

Evasion abilities: Galerider Sliver/Pulmonic Sliver, Horned Sliver, and Shifting Sliver.

Other combat abilities: Magma Sliver, Brood Sliver, Synapse Sliver, Megantic Sliver, Muscle Sliver/Sinew Sliver/Predatory Sliver, Sentinel Sliver, and Venom Sliver.

Other abilities: Necrotic Sliver.

Note that with Amoeboid Changeling, you can temporarily give your opponents' creatures the abilities of some of your Slivers at instant speed if they are attacking or attacked by another of your opponents. This could help in more political commander games, as well as enable your opponents to decimate each others' forces more easily than your own. Additionally, you can use Sliver Overlord's second ability to permanently gain control of that creature, even after it loses its Sliver creature type.

Homing Sliver can serve as an alternate way to tutor for Slivers if Sliver Overlord isn't out. Also, Sliver cards in your hand can be cast to destroy an artifact or enchantment using Harmonic Sliver.

Most of these nonbasic lands have the ability to fetch or produce at least three different colors of mana. For other sources of mana diversity and ramping, use Mirari's Wake, Urza's Incubator, Herald's Horn, Training Grounds, Sol Ring, Gemhide Sliver/Manaweft Sliver, Birds of Paradise, Burgeoning, Chromatic Lantern, and Zendikar Resurgent.

Shared Animosity, Mirari's Wake, and Vanquisher's Banner strengthen Slivers, Steely Resolve, Eternal Witness, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, and Sun Titan protect Slivers, and Kindred Summons, Distant Melody, Herald's Horn, Vanquisher's Banner, and Kindred Discovery give us Sliver-based card advantage.

Rhystic Study, Mystical Tutor, Phyrexian Arena, Eladamri's Call, Bident of Thassa, and Skullclamp can generate more great card advantage.

Sliver Hive, Brood Sliver, and Riptide Replicator can produce Sliver tokens to benefit from the boosts of other Slivers.

Strip Mine, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Cyclonic Rift, Wrath of God, Supreme Verdict, Bojuka Bog, and Dictate of Erebos work as removal.

Maze of Ith, Propaganda, and Ghostly Prison help protect us.
