jaketheaccountant I think I know what you mean, as the deck is predominantly / with a small amount of and even less . This deck does struggle a bit with color balancing, but it seems to work out most of the time in my play testing. There are a number of cards that can produce any mana color: Ancient Ziggurat, Command Towerfoil, Vivid Crag, Chromatic Lantern, Commander's Sphere, Paradise Mantle, Patchwork Banner, Migratory Route and Sword of the Animist can search for a missing basic land.

That being said, this deck could likely benefit from more options for any colored mana. So let me know if you have any specific suggestions. Switching all of the to isn't really an option for me, as like said the basis of the deck is / birds. To take out all of the would involve building a whole new deck essentially. And Nadu is the best bird commander atm so I'd like to stick with him.

I'm not very attached to Stolen by the Fae, any color mana ramp or Forest tutoring would be better than that card imo for instance. I might just swap it out for Thornwood Falls or something similar and go a bit over 1/3 lands here for more mana options.

Ancient Ziggurat is often overlooked, so I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it. As long as you’re comfortable handling a Blood Moon I think the mana base you currently have is top notch.

Quite nice. I do think you need an answer for Blood Moon, even if it’s just in the sideboard. One of those will derail the entire deck. Ancient Ziggurat might find value too, with as many creatures as you have.

Hey Zorke,

Ok based on your comment about the combo, I'm basing these recommendations on a:

Tuned tier - Power level 5 (6 usually has a combo) - Win before Turn 14 - "Upgraded Precon". Visual Guide to Power Levels in EDH.

-- Land Base -- Prioritize untapped, Mana colors, Target 33: +Shivan Reef -Island +Yavimaya Coast -Forest +City of Brass -Aether Hub +Mana Confluence -Mountain Valley +Riverglide Pathway  Flip -Simic Growth Chamber +Rootbound Crag -Mountain +Hinterland Harbor -Forest +Sulfur Falls -Mountain +Rejuvenating Springs -Path of Ancestry +Training Center -Rogue's Passage +Spire Garden -Ancient Ziggurat +Boseiju, Who Endures -Island

--Ramp-- Creature preferred +Birds of Paradise -Thought Vessel +Three Visits -Heraldic Banner +The Great Henge -Gilded Lotus (Also important for draw) +Farseek -Harvest Season

--Morph-- +Kadena's Silencer -Stuffy Doll +Icefeather Aven -Keep Safe (Morph flavor) +Echo Tracer -Omnath, Locus of Mana (Morph flavor) +Mistfire Weaver -Forsaken Monument (Morph flavor) +Jeering Instigator -Shaleskin Plower (Morph flavor less salt)

--Draw-- +Fathom Seer -Zendikar Resurgent +Temur Ascendancy -Tomb of the Spirit Dragon +Tishana, Voice of Thunder -Ashcloud Phoenix +Guardian Project -Tidespout Tyrant +Toski, Bearer of Secrets -Fabricate +Garruk's Uprising -Creeping Renaissance

--Offense other than Animar-- +Garruk's Horde -Forest +Artisan of Kozilek -Island +Bane of Bala Ged -Trophy Mage (Pulls 1 unneeded artifact!) +Shrieking Drake -Temur Sabertooth (Non-Infinite Ancestral Statue) +Decimator of the Provinces -Temur War Shaman

--Control-- +Beast Within -Fog

I've left out some salty card for this power level: Cyclonic Rift Ancestral Statue Craterhoof Behemoth Rhystic Study Mystic Remora Dockside Extortionist

Special mention (would need to playtest): Secret Plans (Draw) Solemn Simulacrum (Ramp & Draw) Mulldrifter (Draw) Trail of Mystery (Ramp) Rhythm of the Wild (Don't think you'll see heavy counterspell in power 5)

Could go more less if needed Theres other stuff I didn't suggest because of the morph theme, like Cloud of Faeries, Hullbreaker Horror, Fierce Empath etc.

Hopefully you find some useful ideas here.

Love the party theme! I think a couple more lands for fixing like Exotic Orchard and the more expensive Ancient Ziggurat would help a bit more with mana fixing.

Selfless Spirit is a slightly better Glyphweaver, and I think Maskwood Nexus would be a fun include in place of one of the changelings. :)

Hope this helps!

One thing I noticed in the mana base, I would upgrade Ancient Ziggurat with Secluded Courtyard cheaper and is better for this deck.

Secluded Courtyard and Ancient Ziggurat would let you go into 5 colors which is what slivers really wants to do. That would let you use more utility lands like Scavenger Grounds if you want. It would also open up slivers you currently can't use like Leeching Sliver and Diffusion Sliver. Unsettled Mariner and Realmwalker are pretty decent as well.
