Interesting take on Xyris there legendofa. If you're going to targeting opposing creatures a lot with enchantments and goad-abilities, you'd want to make sure they can't employ hexproof against you. Adding Arcane Lighthouse, Shadowspear or maybe a less expensive alternative like Bonds of Mortality can help with that.

Dismiss into Dream and/or Repercussion might be fun in this deck.

Vivi Ornitier i would heavily suggest.

Shadowspear is pretty great along with that Arcane Lighthouse you mentioned.

Edit to my last comment: Arcane Lighthouse isn't Modern-legal. Got caught somewhere between EDH and thinking it was printed in Ikoria for some reason. No excuses for Bane of the Living. I've been playing a lot more EDH than Modern recently. All other suggestions still apply.

Somewhere in the depths of my profile, I have a theoretical combo that's something like 20 cards that I specifically made to be as "you can't lose the game" as possible, and people still poked holes in it.

Suggestions Show

If you want to beat the unbeatable, based on the description, I would go mainly {B}. There's not much that can survive a big -X/-X like Black Sun's Zenith or an unmorphing Bane of the Living. Leyline of the Void and Bojuka Bog are graveyard hate with different forms of uncounterability. Lier, Disciple of the Drowned shuts down counterspells, and stuff like Eyes of the Wisent punish blue spells (like most counterspells).

Praetor's Grasp and Sadistic Sacrament also punish combos with low redundancy, on top of Bitter Ordeal.

I'm not quite sure what the second clue could be. Assuming your interpretation is correct, there aren't that many cards that grant abilities from the graveyard, and most of them are offensive, not defensive. Arcane Lighthouse strips shroud and hexproof without being countered, and Sudden Spoiling strips inherent hexproof and shroud, if that comes up. Yixlid Jailer shuts down all graveyard tricks, on top of the graveyard hate above.

If you plan on making it 3v1, have two people run hard control while the third goes for combo breaking. Metaphorically, get two people to hold him down while the third goes through his pockets. Or just go triple aggro and attack before he can get set up.

Lol yeah Goldberserkerdragon, Glaring Spotlight, Shadowspear, & Arcane Lighthouse are that trifecta.

I haven't looked at this deck in forever, as if Dockside not being swapped out didn't make it obvious enough lol.

Arcane Lighthouse is in there for the same reason without taking up a slot, but your suggestion of Glaring Spotlight is very valid and I'll test it out, thanks! =)

Hey Dana, I'll add them to the consider-list and play a few games to see how they feel. Thanks for the love!

Thanks for the note. I don't think there is any deck that can destroy every EDH commander deck. But, having played this specific deck for a couple of years, it will quickly get out of hand of left unchecked. That's just the nature of slivers; I love it.

As for power level, I don't know how competitive this deck is in a cEDH format. I would suspect that lacking duel lands and mox rocks would make the deck too slow.

I also am thinking of removing shadowsphere. It doesn't seem relevant in many games, and I already have Arcane Lighthouse for Hexproof.

carpecanum, thank you for the awesome advice, no clue how I missed Isochron Scepter, because even I know it’s popular in commander. Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat are there specifically for the cheeky combo with one of them, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, and one other non-human creature. Upon review, I will likely be removing Blood Artist as he’ll kill me before multiple opponents. I will definitely take Arcane Lighthouse because otherwise some strategies shut down the turning men into food degeneracy. I’ll also try and make room for the Rabid Bite and similar cards, as well as some board wipe protection. Thank you again!
