Non-"Destory" Boardwipes.
Commander Deck Help forum

Hello! I've been having some trouble recently with boardwipes such as Hallowed Burial and Terminus recently. I run a sliver EDH deck so destroy isn't as much of a problem as long as I can get my Sliver Hivelord out. Does anyone have any creative solutions to these other than just straight counterspells as I don't have a ton of room to add more. Thanks for your help.
Paradoxical Outcome comes to mind, depending on your token usage.

Frenetic Sliver and start flipping coins. Plus it at least puts them into the graveyard where they're more easily recurred.

I'm guessing that this is the deck: Deck does not contain a lapdance?
The answer in my opinion is more card advantage. Means that:
a) you rely less on your commander to begin with, and
b) rather than trying to protect your creatures, just rebuild quickly after a wrath.
running cards like Eerie Interlude is ok, but as a once off effect, unless you run a bunch of tutors for it you can't rely on having it when somebody wraths. Ans packing your deck full of cards like it is a waste of card spaces as a lot of the time they will be dead draws. It's not like you can even capitalise on a bunch of ETBs as most slivers provide static buffs.

Well you could just use some graveyard recursion that'll help you rebuild Patriarch's Bidding or Yawgmoth's Will come to mind. However cards like Merciless Eviction negate this. Instead you could use Hedonist's Trove or the "Wish" cycle - Cunning Wish, Burning Wish, Death Wish, Living Wish, or Golden Wish. Perhaps one of those would be your best bet.

Eerie Interlude comes to mind as a way to avoid board wipes. Another solution would be to Distorting Wake yourself and just rebuild seeing how with slivers that is generally pretty easy.
