Neotrup on Spell Copy Targeting Timing

Also, a small point on Amoeboid Changeling. You can use it to remove Precursor Golem's Golem type, but it requires the third ability which will make it not have any creature types. You can also make Precursor Golem an Elf with it, but that means using it's second ability which will still leave it as a Golem, as well as giving it all other creature types, not just Elf. You cannot use Amoeboid Changeling to set a creature to only having 1 creature type.

In play, I have Precursor Golem, the two golem tokens it created when it entered, and Amoeboid Changeling. My opponent casts a Lightning Bolt targeting Precursor. I tap Amoeboid Changeling and use its ability to change Precursor's creature type to Elf...were my other Golems already being targeted by bolts due to Precursor's triggered ability, or will this stop that since he isn't a golem anymore?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, some cards don't work the way you expect because "Shrine" is an enchantment type, not creature type. Your commander Go-Shintai of Lost Wisdom and other Shrines have no creature type

Therefore:

• Maskwood Nexus and Amoeboid Changeling can't make something into a "Shrine"
• You can't choose "Shrine" for Adaptive Automaton or Roaming Throne
• Changelings aren't Shrines

Also Amoeboid Changeling I use him in my Sliver Overlord deck, it's fun to just steal all your opponent's commanders ;)

Amoeboid Changeling, Cryptolith Rite, Mana Echoes, Patriarch's Bidding, Leeching Sliver, Hatchery Sliver and Shadow Sliver all seem very nice additions.

SufferFromEDHD Good call bro, what would you swap for it personally? Hesitant to cut more Slivers to guarantee targets for Manaweft Sliver or Pact of the Serpent but a good swap is a good swap, great synergy with Sliver Overlord, kind of just seems like a better Amoeboid Changeling.

Amoeboid Changeling is a must-have in Sliver Overlord. Its first ability allows you to turn any opponent’s creature into a sliver - which then allows you to take that creature permanently with Sliver Overlord. Combined with a way of infinitely untapping the Changeling (which allows you to turn every opponent creature into a sliver) and infinite mana to activate Overlord, you can take every single opponent creature, leaving them with nothing to block your slivers (plus the value their creatures add to your side), allowing you to punch through a victors.

Aggravated Assault, Amoeboid Changeling, and Intruder Alarm are must-haves in a Sliver Overlord deck. With Aggravated Assault, you tap 6+ slivers to pay for the ability, net positive mana, and repeat forever. While this mana does not survive to a main phase, you can use it to tutor every single sliver in your library to your hand.

Just as importantly, it allows you to infinitely untap Amoeboid Changeling--you can then use the infinite mana you also generate alongside Sliver Overlord's ability to take every single creature your opponents control for your own.

Intruder Alarm works similarly--if you have enough slivers, you can pay for Overlord's tutor ability, cast the sliver you just tutored, untap all your mana-producing slivers, and repeat until you have played all or a significant chunk of the slivers in your deck.

To make room for these cards, I would personally cut the fog cards. Fogs are not particularly good in Commander--they buy you protection only for a single round of combat against a single player. Not exactly a great use of one of your precious cards. Other cards to consider cutting are Wild Growth (there are better ways to ramp with slivers), Prodigious Growth (which is not needed on slivers, as they all pump themselves), and Awakening Zone (which is too slow for how fast sliver decks want to move and not needed since most slivers have a low mana cost).
