Bishoprage,

I'm going to be honest with you, I haven't broken out my deck in months. Mostly because I didn't have the desire to swap out my Mana Cryptfoil. But today I decided to finally do it - and I swapped out the cards to make the deck match the decklist. I'm almost considering setting up a Break in Case of Unban! shadowbox or display frame in my office.

Those bans made me unhappy and impacted my vision for some of my decks. I am strongly resisting the urge to just go into a full blown rant about just how deeply out of touch the rules committee was with the community they supposedly represented despite never being voted in or even interacting with said community. So you only get a semi-rant. LOL. Anyways, I plan on taking my Slivers to my next FNM this upcoming Friday. I'll do my best to try and get Thrumming Hivepool into play as often as I can and i'll let you know my thoughts.

Also free Paradox Enginefoil! Just kidding I know that card is degeneracy of the highest order - but I still love it. It's my favorite card after Sliver Queen. What's yours?

" Maybe the Rules Committee is clearing the way for a less powerful meta for Paradox Engine's insider trading related return."

I'll admit that in my degenerate heart I do have a special place for Paradox Engine. But that card goes infinite with a ham sandwich minus the bread. I love that card dearly, it wont be unbanned. The RC said it themselves: "The philosophy of Commander prioritizes creativity, and one of the ways we have historically reflected that in the rules and banlist is to encourage a slower pace of game than traditional formats." Slower games is the direction we are heading i'm afraid.

Also separately, +1 - those are some solid changes for the deck.

No Mana Crypts or Jeweled Lotuses for anyone! oh, and no Dockside Extortionists as well. I'm an enfranchised player, so I don't like this announcement. I just lost hundreds of dollars in value for each of my decks. Also, it slows down games considerably. When I sit down at a table, I communicate - I tell everyone what i'm running so we can have a collective experience we all want. But when a rules committee comes down from on high and decides to restrict strong and viable pieces that is very worrying. What next? Fetchlands? Original dual lands? Sol Ring? I just want to know when will all of their meddling end? I can understand banning something that is outright format warping like Paradox Engine - but Mana Crypt? It's as though the committee expects the other 3 players at the table are only playing battle cruiser decks with 0 interaction. What's worst though is Jeweled Lotus. Banning the card that was made specifically for Commander and is only a blank card in other formats. That's a very short sighted ban that I don't understand. I have rarely seen Jeweled Lotus in the wild but when I do I don't see it getting used more than once a game. I think the rules committee is blinded by their short sighted vision for commander in that it should be reduced to players stuck in forever long games using decks that have 0 interaction waiting for their battlecruiser to finally be online.

Looking at these comments I can only feel nostalgic. My dear Paradox Engine will likely be forever banned. Sure, it goes infinite with a ham sandwich, but still I love it. This deck feels very much like "the usual suspects" when it comes to Sliver decks in EDH but with the notable exclusion of Mana Echoes - why is that? Also, I wouldn't recommend the inclusion of Wild Pair, it's a very inefficient card. Might I suggest the inclusion of some interaction? Outside of a select few slivers you don't really have much in the way of board interaction. Spot removal stuff like Swords to Plowshares, Beast Within, Get Lost, or Strix Serenade just to name a few. You're in all 5 colors so i'd like to know what your color preference is as a player - that would help guide future suggestions.

Always happy to see a Sliver deck. +1 from me.

Trivia time! There were 1,930 new Commander/Vintage-legal cards released in 2022, representing four Standard-legal sets, six Commander sets, and three additional products. In 2017, that number was 915 across four Standard sets and one Commander set. (Paradox Engine got banned in Commander.) In 2012, the number was 729, representing five products, with Griselbrand getting banned in Commander. From 2012 to 2017, the number of new unique cards per year increased by 186. From 2017 to 2022, the rate increased by 1,015 new cards per year.

It's not so much the number of new mechanics per year that concerns me. It's the number of new cards. Each year now produces more than twice as many new cards than even five years ago. Product fatigue is real.
