Hi Bishoprage,
Thanks for showing interest in my deck, and yes this is the right place for your questions. Speaking of which, what to replace the "4 horseman" dual lands with? I have some ideas, and will list them from most to least expensive so you can make a decision based off of your budget:
-
Ikoria/New Capenna Triome Lands - the cycle is complete, and yes entering tapped is pretty lame but they can be tutored with any of the fetchlands I am presuming you are going to keep in the deck.
-
Shadowmoor/Eventide Filter Lands - The land cycle is complete and can produce colorless mana in a pinch. At one point some of these lands were in the deck - until the budget grew and I went for more expensive options.
-
Pain Lands - unfortunately these aren't typed, but the cycle is complete and for the low low price of just one life per use you can get the mana you need.
-
Three Tree City is a substitute i'd recommend for Gaea's Cradle.
-
Yes, indeed i'd suggest Windfall for wheel of fortune, or really any other reasonably low coverted mana cost (cmc) draw spell of your choice to be honest. Or heck, you could get another piece of interaction like Permission Denied.
-
As a substitution for Mox Diamond i'd suggest maybe Mind Stone? This is a tough call as there are few 2 cmc mana rocks out there i'd recommend that are a reasonable monetary investment.
Those are my suggestions for (in my opinion) reasonably priced substitutions for the more expensive pieces in the deck. Let me know what you think! Also, welcome to magic! Hopefully you will have a good time brewing and building your very own Sliver Hive!

Hey man, you need more mana rocks! Consider your guild signets and talismans.
As far as defeating a BW control deck, I'd recommend just running more counter magic. Dovin's Veto & Permission Denied could be good choices! A few more silence effects like Silence, Grand Abolisher & Orim's Chant could go a long way as well.

For your strategy, I'd focus on either infect or +1/+1 counters since the list seems to be a bit "busy" with too much going on. Once you choose which way you'd like to take the deck, we can further tweak - proliferation will still be central to your overall plan.
Here are some suggestions by color that you might want to consider adding to your mainboard:
:
Heroic Intervention, Nature's Lore, The Great Henge, Three Visits.
:
Akroma's Will, Flawless Manuever, Smothering Tithe, Teferi's Protection, Trouble in Pairs.
:
Cyclonic Rift, Fierce Guardianship, Mana Drain, Swan Song.
I think you can get away with swapping out removing some counter spells as it seems a bit overkill - Cancel, Dispel, Envelop, Negate, and Nullify could probably come out in favor of Fierce Guardianship, Mana Drain, and Swan Song (the others could just be cut).
For your land base, I'd work the following lands in to help with your color wheel:
Fetch Lands: Flooded Strand, Misty Rainforest, Windswept Heath
Filter Lands: Flooded Grove, Mystic Gate, Wooded Bastion
Pathways Lands: Barkchannel Pathway Flip, Branchloft Pathway Flip, Hengegate Pathway Flip
Shock Lands: Breeding Pool, Hallowed Fountain, Temple Garden
Tri-Cycle Land: Spara's Headquarters
True Duals: Savannah, Tropical Island, Tundra
For mana rocks, I prefer the talismans over the signets:
Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Progress, Talisman of Unity
I think your Kros, Defense Contractor list is in a good spot, it just needs to be a little more focused.

Azoth2099 How could I forget about Angel's Grace... Thanks! I like Dovin's Veto & Permission Denied BUT Im not sure they are needed at the moment. Then again it needs a lot more play-testing.

chubthrasher Yeah it's honestly busted lol. Angel's Grace & Trickbind are also pretty solid! Also I noticed you're running Render Silent, how do you feel about Dovin's Veto & Permission Denied?
