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

The regenerating Sliver would get a counter. Basically, if enough damage is dealt to proc regeneration, then enough damage was dealt to to trigger Fungus.

Here's how it breaks down, using Crypt Sliver as the one to be damaged:

1. A sliver taps to regenerate Crypt in response to a damaging spell or ability, being declared as a blocker, or whatever.

2. The ability resolves, and Crypt has a "regeneration shield."

3. The source of damage resolves, and Crypt is dealt enough damage to destroy it. This triggers Fungus Sliver's ability.

4. State-based actions are checked. The "shield" kicks in, damage is removed from Crypt, it becomes tapped if it wasn't already, and it's no longer attacking or blocking if it was in combat.

5. The ability granted by Fungal resolves, and you put a +1/+1 counter on Crypt.

Looking for clarification on the interaction between Crypt Sliver and Fungus Sliver, specifically if tapping Crypt Sliver to regenerate a sliver dealt damage while Fungus Sliver is on the battlefield will result in the sliver still getting a +1/+1 counter, or if removing the damage will negate this effect.

DoctorMunchiesPHD Crypt Sliver winds up being more mana efficient in board states without Training Grounds. Love Brood Sliver always have always will. Frenetic Sliver is more a last resort removal protection and more often then not is a blue card to pitch for Force of Will or used to get Dormant Sliver off the board if I need to attack to finish someone. Don't really need mana reduction from Herald's Horn and it winds up not discounting a number of important Slivers in the deck. I'm not the biggest fan of the tutors that put the card on the top of the deck and not in hand, Worldly Tutor was the closest to making the deck among your suggestions but I chose Vampiric Tutor over it, due to the greater versatility and not having to reveal the card.

In my humble opinion as a brother Overlord player, Clot Sliver is far better than Crypt Sliver as your Slivers are better off being used to tap for mana or attack so 2 mana is far less of a sacrifice than disabling another Sliver altogether. If you wanted to make any swaps, with all the other lords in your deck Brood Sliver feels unnecessary, and Frenetic Sliver can end up costing you 3 mana just to sacrifice a creature you needed to save to pop off; Herald's Horn and Worldly Tutor I believe are great substitutes that will both make your deck more consistent/make Slivers like Necrotic Sliver that much more useful.

So I would probably suggest changing Crypt Sliver for Sedge Sliver. Reason for this is because Crystalline Sliver and Crypt Sliver are a NonBo as you cant target the slivers with the ability.

I would also probably change Shadow Sliver for Shifting Sliver. Gives you the ability to block others, but you can't be blocked. Shadow Sliver is a double edged sword, as you also can't block.

You have the option of another mana Sliver in the form of Gemhide Sliver. Trust me, Mana is your most required asset. I would drop Virulent Sliver as, to be honest, I would not genuinely expect to win with poison counters. And if this was a win con I would be going hard on it, not just a 1 chance.

As the aim of your deck is to go wide, I would be tempted to go with Shared Animosity to pump your attack power.

You have Spiteful Sliver in there, why not include Blasphemous Act? with enough creatures, this in itself can kill off your opponents.

Heart Sliver replacing Reflex Sliver is a strict upgrade. Cheaper and still gives haste.

I would question the value of Spinneret Sliver when you already have 2 slivers giving you flying.

If you are going wide Horned Sliver could be an option, however may not be needed. I would be more inclined to go with a Synapse Sliver. Need to keep that grip full of more Slivers to power the Hive.

Now... onto the mana base...

I would strongly suggest getting more dual color lands which can come into play UNTAPPED. We are in a very {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} intensive deck, and getting to that is super important. Chromatic Lantern could be super useful, and you may also wish to replace something with Morophon, the Boundless.

Whilst ABUR duals are super expesive, and to an extent Fetchlands too, Shocklands (Godless Shrine etc.) and Bondlands (Morphic Pool etc.) may be more accessible. You could look at the Filter lands too, or checks. I just think this could essentially speed up the deck exponentially

I will have another think about some other bits as well and will get back to you :)

I updated the deck quite a bit i think.Down to 37 lands and up to 27 creatures now.

Still got stuff like Two-Headed Sliver, Brood Sliver, Crypt Sliver, Opaline Sliver, Toxin Sliver, Coat of Arms and Kindred Summons

Not sure how to get them in, but maybe to switch out for the infinit combo stuff.
