I’d consider running the following.

• Druid's Deliverance
• Divine Visitation
• Song of the Worldsoul

I’d cut growing ranks, I don’t think it’s very good, I have a Selesnya tokens deck and ran it in that for ages but it actually only gets you one trigger every round of the table, if you were to cut that for Song of the Worldsoul you’re getting a token whenever you cast anything.

I’d also maybe run the following lands:

• Reflecting Pool - gives you access to any of your colours and doesn’t enter tapped.

• Exotic Orchard - it’s very likely, that in any game you’ll be playing against 2 or more of these colours, also a lot people run lands that tap for one of any colour, which would then give you any mana.

• City of Brass yeah the 1 damage is a bit annoying but it’s great for mana fixing early on

I’d just straight swap these for the scry lands, I don’t think they’re the best.

Mimic Vat would help you against those decks, if they kill any of your creatures you can copy it, or you could copy something if there’s and you can do this whenever.

Hey, green is too important to have in the early game for Elves especially one drop Elves. Consider cutting several Plains for more lands that can ETB untapped turn one to make green mana, but also make white later on?

• Brushland
• City of Brass
• Forbidden Orchard
• Wooded Foothills
• Horizon Canopy
• Mana Confluence
• Razorverge Thicket

It's worth it to take some damage from your lands to be able to consistently have more sources of green turn one.

Other cards to consider adding:

• Arbor Elf
• Skullclamp
• Sterling Grove
• Chord of Calling
• Mirror Entity
• Beast Within

Cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of Plenty
• Second Harvest
• Wing Shards
• Rout
• Wilt-Leaf Liege
• Arcane Signet

Good luck with your deck.

As great as some of these cards are in commander, in a 5c deck, making sure you have the right mana is really the way to go.

As silly as it sounds, I'd ditch Sensei's in favor of better color consistency or a tutor for your mana rocks. Even a Fabricate would do nicely to fetch Signet or whatever. Similarly, I'd toss some of the "utility" lands, like Minamo, for better 5-color fixing like Cascading Cataracts, City of Brass and Mana Confluence.

In regards to sideboards - they don't exist in EDH. This is a singleton format where players bring their decks as they are. So...unless those are cards you are considering for the deck - ya gotta cut em. Now here are some suggestions on what you could put in the deck to help it run more consistently:

• Manaweft Sliver: Like Gemhide Sliver but better.
• Worldly Tutor/Congregation at Dawn: These are tutors that have synergy with your commander (who must already be in play). Tutor for the 1 (or 3 slivers that each have a CMC 1 less than the other} and place it on top of your library. When casting Congregation at Dawn you can stack 3 slivers each with 3 different CMCs and - voalá you have 2 more Slivers coming into play.
• Skyshroud Claim/Pir's Whim/Nature's Lore/Sliver Hive/City of Brass/Exotic Orchard/Reflecting Pool/Chromatic Lantern/: For a 5c deck you have woefully little ramp/manafixing.
• Path to Exile/Swords to Plowshares/Anguished Unmaking/Krosan Grip/Beast Within/Generous Gift/Counterspell/Swan Song/Mana Leak/Arcane Denial/Forbid: Your deck has very little interaction - making you just a passive victim when your opponents decide it's time to deal with you - or when your opponents are going off. You need to be able to act. Slivers aren't passive creatures, and neither should you be when piloting them.

HONORABLE MENTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL CUTS: I know I went over a bunch of cuts in my previous post, but here are some more suggestions -

• Assemble the Legion/Retreat to Emeria/Birthing Boughs: You don't need Sliver Queen to make more tokens in an efficient manner. Allow me to introduce you to Brood Sliver and Hive Stirrings. Why go throught the trouble of making a janky combo that creates soldier tokens/changelings in cheap Sliver costumes when you could just...make Slivers? You also have the added flavor of getting double the tokens per combat damage assignment step when you have both Brood Sliver and Bonescythe Sliver out on the battlefield. Worse yet - Legion, Emeria and Boughs have absolutely no synergy with your commander outright. you have to hope you have Hivestone on the battlefield. AND THEN even if you have alll of the parts and pieces on the board you have literally zero cards in your deck that are CMC 0 - as tokens have a CMC of 0 - creating a total non-bo that just allows you to only be able to shuffle your library. That's it.

37 Total Lands

Filled this out with what nearly of what you had on hand. I'd recommend that you pick up the B/W Shock Land (highest priority) and if you wanted to increase your options for fixing and future proof your collection you could pick up City of Brass, Reflecting Pool, and Mana Confluence. Additionally, the Basic Lands are a starting point you'll want to play with those numbers a bit after you land the rest of your deck. You could do 5/2/2 or something like 2/4/3 depending on the needs of the rest of your deck.

I would fix the lands a bit. You have some filter lands, bounce lands, fast lands, but not consistently for each color combination in sultai. Maybe consider adding some of the following:

• These are the Sultai Filter Lands:
• Twilight Mire
• Flooded Grove

• Sunken Ruins

• These are the Sultai Fast Lands

• Darkslick Shores
• Botanical Sanctum

• Blooming Marsh

• These are the Sultai Check Lands

• Drowned Catacomb
• Woodland Cemetery

• Hinterland Harbor

• These are the Sultai Shock Lands

• Watery Grave
• Overgrown Tomb

• Breeding Pool

• These are the Sultai Fetch Lands And Multi Fetch Lands

• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• Verdant Catacombs
• Misty Rainforest

• Polluted Delta

• Sultai Pain Lands and Multi Pain Lands (And Other)

• Mana Confluence
• City of Brass
• Forbidden Orchard
• Exotic Orchard
• Ancient Tomb
• Nurturing Peatland/Llanowar Wastes
• Waterlogged Grove/Yavimaya Coast

• Underground River

• I'm not sure if these are within budget for you, but having consistent lands instead of having them all over the place work wonders! If you find this helpful consider upvoting and giving feedback to my deck: Double Trouble EDH! Good Luck on your Deck, Hope this Helps, and Have a Nice Day!

Hey, instead of looking for more big creatures focus on improving the manabase? You can improve the manabase lot by adding Rainbow lands:

• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• City of Brass
• Cascading Cataracts
• Forbidden Orchard
• Reflecting Pool
• Mana Confluence

I think you're relying too much on Golos's ability which is seven mana. For seven mana you're not guaranteed to cast a big creature. Without his ability you will not be able to cast many of the high CMC creatures here. Tutors that can put the creature/card you tutor for on top of your library could replace some high CMC creatures. I realize you're playing so many high CMC creatures to give you a better chance of cheating the cost of one or more of them with Golos. Rather than doing this, tutor directly for the creature/card and setup so you can cast it with Golos? Better support for five colors can also help your deck.

• Bringer of the Black Dawn: repeatable tutor that puts the card you tutor for on top of your library.
• Vampiric Tutor
• Worldly Tutor
• Scheming Symmetry
• Congregation at Dawn: tutor for and put three creatures on top of your library.
• Jodah, Archmage Eternal: backup plan to cheat the mana cost of creatures.
• Dryad of the Ilysian Grove: another Chromatic Lantern effect for your lands and playing an additional land per turn is good.
• Faeburrow Elder
• Birds of Paradise

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver
• Kozilek, the Great Distortion
• Pathrazer of Ulamog
• Prince of Thralls
• Worldspine Wurm
• Aurelia, the Warleader
• Nicol Bolas, the Ravager
• It That Betrays
• Utter End

If you're planning on running vivid lands, you might as well add Reflecting Pool and City of Brass.
