Groovelord on The Queen's Egg

The symmetry on Aluren makes it a bit risky, but it's probably much better for you than for any of your opponents (watch out for elves!). It's a sweet draw engine with Dormant Sliver, which gets cranked up to infinite draw with Cloudstone Curio (also goes infinite with any sac outlet and Enduring Renewal, but let's not get too far afield.
Hunting Grounds is like a lower-CMC Lurking Predators, but it's not as explosive and the threshold requirement is awkward. Probably not worth it when your creatures all cost 5 or less anyway.
Since you're already running Synapse Sliver (and honestly how could you not?), pushing for more aggro and more evasion can be a draw engine of sorts.
More possible engines are Ephara, God of the Polis (great with Quick Sliver/Aluren, but is an icky non-Sliver creature), Slate of Ancestry and Greed. These are more finnicky and resource-intensive than good ol' Phyrexian Arena, but they draw more cards faster if you're willing to jump through a couple hoops. Soul of the Harvest and Primordial Sage are more powerful generally, but they both cost 6 and are worse than Wild Pair (and most importantly, NOT SLIVERS!!). Your average CMC might also be low enough to support Dark Confidant or his enchantment version Dark Tutelage.
In terms of sheer speed, you can't top instant and sorcery draw. A couple big one-shot draw spells, like Distant Melody (even has a foil from the Sliver premium deck), Shamanic Revelation, Allied Strategies and Wheel of Fortune might be worth running.
