I've taken into consideration several of those cards and did a bit of testing with Priest of Titania and a fetchable Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip. They seem to be more reliant and the disciple can be used during the massive amount of mana being gained to sacrifice Atraxa, Grand Unifier thus giving more cards and almost guaranteeing more combo cards or a Green Sun's Zenith to fetch Craterhoof Behemoth or Shaman of the Pack if they have not been drawn. This is in the spirit of combo elves more than any midrange option. Elvish Warmaster is nice, but that ability of triggering only once is not as impressive as Eladamri, Korvecdal being used as a card draw for top deck creature spells. I can still do more testing with Leaf-Crowned Visionary, but Rite of Harmony does give an almost similar effect to Glimpse of Nature with the downside of it needing to EtB. Both Rite and Leaf-Crown would be hit by Spell Snare but I can see an argument for the Crown if more Cavern of Souls are added.

I removed Evendo, Waking Haven since I was hoping they could be quickly turned into Gaea's CradleGC, but they are way too slow and having the restrictions of stationing at sorcery speed is a big hinder in case one needs to toss an elf in front of a creature.

The trickiest part of this has been messing with sideboards to combat weaknesses but for the most part the main is done minus a few cards I either missed when researching or an addition or removal of numbers of copies.

Great use of an overlooked legend from an overlooked block! Might as well sneak a playset of utility land into this glass cannon:

Cavern of Souls guaranteed Kaho

Minamo, School at Water's Edge double the instantaneous trouble

Dust Bowl the really long game haha

Glacial ChasmGC cumulative upkeep isn't great but 20 turns is a long clock, attacking is irrelevant :) not producing mana hurts the most and why it was suggested last

After a couple of goldfishes you're likely going to need more cards that grant hexproof. Legolas's Quick Reflexes is the best creature protection in green it's pretty pricey. Blossoming Defense & Royal Treatment are more accessible. Either could replace Overprotect.

Again this is pricey, but you have quite a bit of non-basic land search Cavern of Souls would be helpful to play Tifa Lockhart.

Might cut Cavern of Souls and Claws of Gix

Might add Springheart Nantuko and Lightning Greaves

PolyTheCakeEater: i've been playing slivers since before MH1. there's only space for 1 rainbow land, because rainbow lands don't provide the colors i need for the non-sliver spells, and don't count as a swamp for Sedge Sliver. sliver hive will be replaced by Cavern of Souls when i can afford them. other than that i rarely have problems getting the colors i need. 24 lands is what i need for Collected Company. i've tested the deck with 20 and 22 lands, and it wasn't enough. manaweft allows for early coco's, and i do have a haste enabler. dregscape and leeching would make the deck slower since i'd have to take out lords to make room. i used to use diffusion, but it got replaced by lavabelly.

Nice deck! I have some suggestions as I have played slivers for a while in modern. Land base probably will need some work. Use cards like Secluded Courtyard and Cavern of Souls as they let you use any colour. Additionally, 24 land seems like a lot especially with low CMC creatures, I run 20 land in mine. Manaweft is ok but can be unreliable without haste, but that is just my opinion. Dregscape Sliver and Leeching Sliver are solid options. Especially Leeching as it adds up really quick and has won me many games. Diffusion Sliver and Unsettled Mariner are also great at protecting your guys if the game goes longer. Feel free to check out my list on my profile. It's similar to yours. Great deck and keep at it bro!

This is precisely why Blasphemous Act goes in all of my red decks :) Seems super strong for the budget. Of course humans really wants Cavern of Souls, but beyond that I don't think an optimized deck will perform too differently from this one. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is awesome for humans, and she's not TOO much around $5 I think. I'd also rec Dewdrop Cure (or Sevinne's Reclamation) maybe to replace your immortal servitude, I think these are both a tad more efficient and flexible. Nice budget list!

Going through the official WotC ban list and a couple of other sources, Cavern of Souls should be completely Pioneer-legal.
