Kaalia, Queen of the Vast
3 days ago
Cool Build. I have a pretty mean Kaalia myself but its rather competitive. Yours looks fun to play I just tested it a few times. Love the Sneak Attack as a backup. Feel free to take a look at mine if you'd like. My only real suggestions after seeing your maybe list is to tune the creatures a bit more and sell that Alpha/Beta D-Tutor ... buy a Chrome Mox. Would leave you with a few $$ to really deck this thing out. Id also be running all 3 Talismans. A revised Demonic tutor is Rather affordable. I run Gamble Demonic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Grim Tutor, And Imperial Seal. More tutors and maybe Steelshaper's Gift to get the Greaves out fast. Diabolic Tutor works just fine to go get an Avacyn or something and get the whole table salty Lotus Petal is clutch too and chronically slept on IMO, especially when it comes to Kaalia... Im pretty sure Jeweled Lotus is banned in EDH now so maybe let that one go too. Necropotence is stupid good in a Kaalia deck, especially if you can get a Reliquary Tower out. As soon as i focused more on tutors, mana rocks, and a few board-wipes Wrath of God Day of Judgment Damn She started going off quick and dirty.Sensei's Divining Top is super helpful too. I wouldn't sleep on Dark Ritual if you're short a Jeska's Will. I slip a Dark Rit in mine from time to time depending on where I'm playing. I also run Armageddon and Catastrophe. Sometimes Winter Orb ...locks everyone down once I have Her out. I Cant tell you how many times Steel Hellkite has won the game for me. Blows up all dorks and keeps opponents rocks at bay. Plus you can grab him with Enlightened tutor. Dragon Mage could work in this to help load up youre Kaalia drops without needing a Wheel of Fortune Solid build!! Ive been tuning mine for years now.

Commander Sliver Deck
1 month ago
Okay Twinships, lets start with the most important thing you must know about Slivers - and repeat after me: "Slivers are a sometimes food.". While they are amazing, and the more show up the more ridiculous the boardstate - you don't need all of them. There are times when you absolutely need room for other things like interaction, engines, you know...an actual deck. First things first - Who is your commander? To designate a Commander for the list on TappedOut you need to tag the card with CMDR when editing your deck list. Depending on the Commander, choices and recommendations will vary.
As of now, your deck has no engines, interaction, or resiliency - all of which are needed as you seem to be suffering from the classic Sliver problem of poor table politics. So, lets start looking at some card recommendations:
- Lurking Predators: You need an engine, and this is as good as any. It also plays into table politics as it disincentivizes other decks from popping off at best, at worst it gets your opponents focusing on it instead of your creatures.
-
Intruder Alarm: You need an engine, this one in particular is one of the usual suspects for slivers that help close out games. When Heart Sliver (or any other haste enabler) and Manaweft Sliver (or any other dork) are on the field you can at worst play your whole hand, and at best play your whole deck and close the game on the same turn. Just make sure you only play this when you can effectively end the game as it is an effect that benefits your opponents as well.
-
Worldly Tutor: You need tutors.
- Sylvan Tutor: You need tutors.
- Demonic Tutor: You need tutors.
- Grim Tutor: You need tutors.
- Guardian Project: You need card draw.
- Dormant Sliver: This is an optional card draw suggestion as you need a reliable sac outlet to remove the Defender ability from your Sliver
- Counterspell: You need interaction.
- Mana Drain: You need interaction.
- Strix Serenade: You need interaction.
- Swan Song: You need interaction.
- Kindred Dominance: You need mass removal to slow down faster players.
- Blasphemous Act: You need mass removal to slow down faster players. This also combos very well with Spiteful Sliver as well.
- Cyclonic Rift: You need mass removal to slow down faster players and have answers.
- Consider the Talisman cycle: Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Dominance etc. You need more rocks and means of fixing your manabase.
- Kodama's Reach: The Sister to Cultivate - you need as many options as possible to fix your manabase in this deck as you are running all 5 colors. 5 Color decks tend to run slow and inefficient if you don't invest heavily in the manabase and/or in many different options for color fixing. On that same note, consider Skyshroud Claim as it is also very similar in nature as long as you have lands with multiple subtypes e.g. Stomping Ground
or Breeding Pool which are both Forests but also are other land types. Also on that note - get shocklands. All of them. If you can also afford it get the Kahns of Tarkir/Onslaught/Zendikar Fetchlands as well. An okay cheaper substitute for the previously mentioned would be the Mirage Fetchlands - but they're an incomplete cycle. Sorry for the tangent here.
Now, these are just a start to some suggestions and ideas for your deck. But we can't get started until you designate your commander. Then we can start cutting to make room. Are there any pet cards or ideas you have? Please share.

It's hard to suggest a good tutor for your color combination. I really want to suggest to splash white for Enlightened Tutor because it can find anything you need in this deck. But if its not possible for you, I'm thinking of Profane Tutor, Grim Tutor, or Beseech the Queen.
"I'm a bit curious what happens if someone resolves a good creature before you can lock them out of cards"
I think his plan is to land Ensnaring Bridge against Creature based decks.

The Ooze makes it sticky

How's it going? Nice recent update, you've done a good job with cutting creatures. If you're worried about card prices then don't get Grim Tutor, not worth it, since for it's high price you could add many more budget friendly card upgrades.
Something to think about for some deck improvements is the mana curve and how it plays having such a heavy top end. The big creatures you want to reanimate are the top of the mana curve here and there's a lot of them, it's filled. Having many other 5 CMC or higher spells (there's 10 here) that aren't creatures can really bog down the mana curve making gameplay worse.
Grievous Wound, Demonic Covenant, Badlands Revival, Convert to Slime, Final Parting, The Cruelty of Gix, Deadbridge Chant, Breach the Multiverse none of these cards are really needed. Since creatures fill the top of the mana curve then focus on improving the beginning of the mana curve? Malevolent Rumble and Diresight are examples of cards at beginning of the mana curve that do a lot for their mana costs for reanimation strategy.
Consider more lower mana cost reanimation spells? If the plan is to cast Stickfingers turn 4 for two then give yourself more chances to reanimate a creature that same turn with more lower mana cost reanimation? You have Reanimate and Animate Dead, but that's really it for early game possible reanimation. Consider Life / Death and Soul Exchange?
A big advantage of green recursion spells here is getting back a reanimation spell to reanimate again. The problem is most of the recursion spells here can only get back a permanent, not a nonpermanent spell. Other than Animate Dead most reanimation here is coming from nonpermanent spells. Consider Regrowth and Dryad's Revival?
Opponent exile effects at your creatures can really ruin your day. Consider some protection against exile? Fine protection against exile here is creature sac since if you sac your creature in response to the exile then it instead goes to your graveyard to be reanimated again. Greater Good is powerful since it can be repeatable, not only is it creature sac, but draw and discard too. Lazotep Quarry is a land that can sac a creature to make a mana.
If you're having trouble with opponents attacking you then Grave Titan could really help. It puts a lot of defense onto the battlefield when it comes in.

Demonic Tutor Grim Tutor Vampiric Tutor Mystical Tutor Entomb
Those would be the tutors I recommend.
If you want to stick with the mill theme, i'd recommend going to edhrec.com and putting in Gisa & Geralf as your CMDR and then you can choose the style of deck (Mill, Zombie, etc.) They will give you many more recommendations for the best cards to add. A few that I run with a different mill themed deck are:
Mesmeric Orb Mindcrank Maddening Cacophony
I personally think The Scarab God is a better Commander for a Mill themed deck because his activated ability can pull a creature from anyone's graveyard. So you can mill the crap out of yourself (and others) then pull their best creatures out of their graveyards

Profane Tutor is incredibly slow and weak (speaking as someone who used to run it). I'd try something like Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, or, heck, even Grim Tutor.
Dragonspeaker Shaman is something that could work.
Since you're running Leyline of the Guildpact, Leyline Binding is a must-have.
