Bonescythe Sliver
Creature — Sliver
Sliver creatures you control have double strike. (They deal both first-strike and regular combat damage.)

So firstly, from 1 hive to another, a thumbs up.
So a couple of things, I know playing slivers, protecting your board is sooooo paramount. Have been victim of the hate plays more than once lol. So Crystalline Sliver is likely going to be one of your 1st go to tutors. That effectively turns off Crypt Sliver, so not sure how good that is.
Secondly, Shadow Sliver is a double edged sword, as you also cant block. Personally would suggest Shifting Sliver as a better option as you get all the unblockable (pretty much) you want, with no downside.
Third.... Spiteful Sliver + Blasphemous Act can be HILARIOUS if you have either a big board state, or an indestructable board state. 13 damage per sliver hit, which you can point where you want lol.
Fourth... Virulent Sliver only gives 1 poison counter a creature, and youre not proliferating. Venom Sliver gives you deathtouch, and if you have a Bonescythe Sliver or Striking Sliver, your opponents arent going to want attack.
Love the look of what you got though. Feel free to stop by my Hive if you wish to have a look and see an alternative take. Sliver Overlord - Predatory Super-Organisms
All hail our Overlord, and our Queen

Hol up - so you think 4 CMC slivers arent worth running? So slivers like Shifting Sliver, Magma Sliver, Bonescythe Sliver or Root Sliver aren't worth running? That is a hot take that I can confidently say is just outright bad. Why are you suggesting Zur the Enchanter *f-etch* for a Sliver Tribal deck? As for Buried Alive and Intruder Alarm - valid suggestions, but not necessarily staples.

Always glad to see another Sliver deck out there in the wild. I see you have Syphon Sliver, did you know that its ability stacks with Essence Sliver? This is a common misunderstanding, but Essence Sliver's ability is NOT Lifelink, nor was it ever errata'd into becoming "All Slivers gain Lifelink". With both Syphon Sliver and Essence Sliver in play, you gain double the amount of life for damage dealt by your Slivers. However, that's only the beginning - with Bonescythe Sliver in play, that goes from double to Quadruple the amount of life gained for the amount of damage dealt. With just these three Slivers in play you would definitely secure a life lead. To make room, i'd cut Opaline Sliver to make room. Thoughts?

Update no one asked for: It's been over a year since I've messed with this one, but it's still a fun deck to play and I've been tweaking it a bit more. Added in some more mana, including another copy of the Manaweft Sliver. Added in the Bonescythe Sliver and a playset of Hive Stirrings for even more bodies on the field, steering this even further into the aggro direction. I've streamlined the card draw options down to three Vanquisher's Banner. It's efficient enough when half the deck is slivers and it gives the anthem effect, although it sucks when you don't draw one as there isn't really any backup plan.
I sent the Harmonic Sliver to the sideboard and pulled Sidewinder Sliver and Lancer Sliver out entirely to make room for the new stuff. Lancer was redundant with the Bonescythe being added, and the extra mana added in now easily covers the extra cost. Added in the two hivelords and the legion to close things out which was something this deck was lacking. Considered a second Sliver Legion, but I'd rather not see the card at all than see it too early, plus it's expensive. My original budget for this deck flew out the window a while ago, but I gotta draw the line somewhere, lol. Plenty of mana available to play them despite being off color, so no worries there either.
Path to Exile is still a champ of a card, but I've relegated it to the sideboard for now. Hit first, remove later, or something. Still not entirely sure how to fill the rest of the sideboard. This was pretty casual when I first built the deck, but it's running smooth enough now that I could probably play this out without dying on turn 3, so it's probably time I dedicate some real thought to it.

Just a heads up! Ponder is limited so you can't play it at 3 like the list says... Also I'd recommend swapping galerider sliver with Cloudshredder Sliver and the muscle slivers for Sliver Legion,Bonescythe Sliver, or Striking Sliver. Lastly I feel as if hibernation sliver does nothing relevant in the deck and would suggest swapping it with Manaweft Sliver or Gemhide Sliver. OH and Diffusion Sliver could also be good.

Decided to change things up a bit with this one. Added in the Aether Vial. Also added in some Mutavault and Cloudshredder Sliver. The single red mana is easy enough to cover with the plethora of sources here. Hasty fliers are worth it. I might try out the Lead the Stampede in place of the Collected Company now that I have the vials in. Putting the cards directly into play was a bigger deal with the weaker mana base, but the vials help circumvent this, and the Lead the Stampede is cheaper to cast. I've given some thought to the Bonescythe Sliver idea, but the 4 CMC is still a bit more than I want to build around. I'm actually leaning more toward swapping the Lancer Sliver out for Striking Sliver since I have already broken the two color barrier. It's half the P/T, but a third the cost. IDK, maybe...
Still playing around with the sideboard.

I'm not a Sliver expert, so get your grain of salt ready, but here are my thoughts.
First thing is mana fixing. I see three Manaweft Sliver. If you want to go five colors, I would add at least 2-3 mana slivers, either Manaweft or Gemhide Sliver. Depending on your land base, a playset of each might work. They're still very helpful at 2-4 colors.
Galerider Sliver and Diffusion Sliver are both very good effects, and you almost have a full playset of both, so those can make a good core. You don't need to have more than one Galerider in play, but you definitely want that one available with others on standby in your hand, and Diffusion stacks with itself to make spot removal near useless.
The and options seem underwhelming, although Cloudshredder Sliver is a decent backup to Galerider. Most of the red ones being singletons also makes them easier to set aside.
I don't see any special combos outside of the usual Sliver synergy, so a straightforward approach of "lay down Slivers and attack" is probably the way to go.
Looking at this collection (and again, not being a Sliver expert), I would suggest making a core and stocking up on mana Slivers to get access to the Cloudshredders and Striking Slivers, keeping the mana costs low for a fast, aggressive deck.

Okay so, a while back I wanted to put together a Slivers deck just for some fun casual play with friends, because I like the concept and playstyle they have.
I bought a relatively cheap pre-built deck online, and a friend recommended some other cards I should find to use in the deck. Unfortunately, that was a while ago, and I'm not in contact with that friend anymore so I'm pretty much back at square one.
The creatures listed below are what I already have, so based on this, what might be a fun + effective deck that I could build? I'm willing to buy singles as long as the individual cards aren't too costly (ideally no more than about $5-7 total for every copy I'd need of a card, but I'm open to spending a little bit more)
Creatures: Cleaving Sliver x1 Spiteful Sliver x1 Bladeback Sliver x1 Blur Sliver x2 Hollowhead Sliver x2 Striking Sliver x2
Lavabelly Sliver x1 Cloudshredder Sliver x2 Bonescythe Sliver x1 Enduring Sliver x1 Constricting Sliver x1 Sentinel Sliver x2 Sidewinder Sliver x2
Scuttling Sliver x3 Diffusion Sliver x4 Galerider Sliver x3
Megantic Sliver x2 Groundshaker Sliver x2 Venom Sliver x2 Manaweft Sliver x3 Predatory Sliver x2 Tempered Sliver x2
Darkheart Sliver x3 Dregscape Sliver x3 Leeching Sliver x3
Thank you in advance for the help!
