Looks like a pretty solid sliver list. You might consider adding Sliver Hivelord as a way to protect your slivers from board wipes, which are their biggest weakness. I know it's difficult to find space for non-slivers but you could also include Patriarch's Bidding and Kindred Dominance as a way to rebuild or a one sided board wipe. I also really like Heirloom Blade in tribal decks that commit this hard to the board.

So it is Dragon tribal, be cautious about Patriarch's Bidding. I think it has a place in this deck until proven otherwise, but make sure you get at least as much value out of it as Atarka-deck does.

What I see here is a bunch of high-mana dragons, and I assume the mana dorks to support it will be in there, too. Crippling Fear has potential to be an all-star. I don't think you need more fear, since your commander grants fear and you have pretty good stall capacity until Marrow-Gnawer comes out. I'm not sure what ramp to recommend if you're at your budget limit, but Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Crypt Ghast, and Nirkana Revenant are all cards to keep in mind.

Patriarch's Bidding is a riskier card, especially if the Atarka deck is Dragon tribal. It does cost less mana and isn't as telegraphed as a foretold Haunting Voyage. I would leave it in for redundancy, since I expect it will give you more value out of it, having a lot of cheap, fairly expendable Rats in here, as opposed to o expensive, clunky Dragons.

ok, so I have a question, am I correct in assuming that Patriarch's Bidding is a sorta a step down from Haunting Voyage? or should I keep it in as a second option?

Nice deck friend :)

Patriarch's Bidding is really great for tribal decks. I prefer it over Living End because it generally has less potential to backfire on you (unless there are a lot of tribal decks in your playgroup)
