Sliver Hivelord
Legendary Creature — Sliver
Sliver creatures you control have indestructible. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)

Good morning Tulsasaurus_Rex, and thank you for sharing your hive with us.
I have a brood of my own, and much like yourself have had an affinity for Tribal decks, and especially Slivers for the better part of nearly... 2 decades (dang... now I feel old). So I would like to maybe make a couple suggestions if thats ok?
Creatures:
- Sedge Sliver - I would probably remove Crypt Sliver for this as Crystalline Sliver switches this Sliver off. It also works with all those shock lands you have as they have the appropriate land types.
- Quick Sliver - Having flash on all your slivers can be so powerful. I'd take out Blur Sliver. You have haste enablers on Cloudshredder Sliver Heart Sliver and Thrumming Hivepool which are just better. Blur seems like a wasted slot.
- Basal Sliver - Big fan of Basal (goes great in pasta...), as means you can sacrifice those tokens for mana etc. I would remove Winged Sliver as again, you have flying from Cloudshredder Sliver and Galerider Sliver.
Non-Creature spells:
So these I am less sure on what to remove, but will give some explanation as to why I think they may help:
- Eerie Ultimatum - Can see you have Patriarch's Bidding in your maybe board, but I offer this is way better. You get all your things and you opponents get nothing. You even get all your other non-Slivery things.
- Boros Charm
- You are playing Slivers, and therefore you are going to attract a board wipe. Boros Charm is the classic "go-to" for making your board indestructible, all for the low price of .
- Removal - Going to mention a few cards here that are just good. Assassin's Trophy, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile. Trophy is another hit anything card, and Swords and Path both exiles tricky creatures your opponents have. All super low cost, to let you spend your mana on better things.
- Card advantage - So I think something like a Mirri's Guile or Sylvan Library just lets you have some card selection of advantage every turn. Lets you make sure you are hitting those land drops, or if you are flooded, you can make sure you are getting gas to help power your deck forward.
- Ramp - Id be looking at maybe Three Visits and Nature's Lore as they can get you any forest type shock land into play, and if you want untapped by paying the 2 life. Id also look at other mana rocks (Ichor Elixir and Fractured Powerstone don't seem that great). Any of the Talismans (Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Unity etc - there is a full cycle) would give you access to colours at only , and up until recently I ran Chromatic Lantern to help with smoothing out any mana issues. Yes it costs , but can be really useful with how mana intensive Slivers can be where is concerned.
- Blasphemous Act/Austere Command - I love these cards. Sometimes you will need to answer a board. Austere Command is modal so gives you lots of flexibility. And if you have Sliver Hivelord on the board, your Sliv's are safe. Blasphemous Act can win you the game if you have a Spiteful Sliver with a board state. Means you can ding 13 damage to any target should this fire, and again may be safe with a Boros Charm or a Sliver Hivelord.
Hope this helps, and have given you a +1. Please feel free to hope on over to my Hive and have a browse (Sliver Overlord - Predatory Super-Organisms)

legendofa I know my friend's deck uses Sensei's Divining Top, Omniscience, and Enter the Infinite, so I could get one of my combo pieces, or steal one of their combo pieces.
Oh, I just realized it said creature card, I'm blind lol. Being removed right now.
Crash Through would be very good if I am running Narset, Enlightened Exile as my commander, or have Jeskai Ascendancy out.
I'm switching Jace, Architect of Thought and Bribery out.
As for whether unblockable or trample is better, probably unblockable, as here are the current common decks:
My friend: a Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard token deck, or Sliver Hivelord slivers deck.
My mom: Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, or a Krenko, Mob Boss krenko deck.
My dad runs a Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck, a Tergrid, God of Fright Flip discard deck. Sometimes a Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix *f-etch* and Thrasios, Triton Hero draw deck.

legendofa sorry I was reading an article.
I just got a job, so I'm willing to spend up to $10 on a single card, up to about $60 dollars of improvements at a time.
I usually play against combo decks. Here's my common opponent decks:
A Tergrid, God of Fright Flip control deck.
A Kykar, Wind's Fury combo deck.
A Rhys the Redeemed token deck, sometimes headed by Ghalta and Mavren tho.
A Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck.
a Sharae of Numbing Depths control/stun deck.
And a very budget Sliver Hivelord sliver deck.
I usually play Baird, Steward of Control, Me, The Mighty, or Valduk, Keeper of Equipment.

GeminiSpartanX There are many ways for Slivers to go infinite in mana, creatures or damage. I will start by listing 3 of the most common ones you will generally see to get you started. The rest I will leave for you to discover through play.
-
Sliver Queen+Mana Echoes: The classic, will generate infinite mana and Sliver tokens, combine with a haste sliver for an infinite attack or use Lavabelly Sliver for infinite target damage and life.
-
Basal Sliver+Sliver Queen+Lavabelly Sliver: Infinite target damage and life gain.
-
Intruder Alarm+The First Sliver: Not truly an infinite combo on it's own but can be with the right setup or hit's off cascade triggers. Intruder Alarm combos with a ham sandwich so not hard to make infinite with mana/haste slivers and Hibernation Sliver and Darkheart Sliver.
Bonus: The most important cards to consider for combos. Sliver Queen, Basal Sliver, Lavabelly Sliver, Hibernation Sliver, The First Sliver, Gemhide Sliver, Manaweft Sliver, Heart Sliver, Cloudshredder Sliver, Firewake Sliver, Darkheart Sliver, Cautery Sliver, Sliver Overlord, Homing Sliver, Mana Echoes, Intruder Alarm, Faces of the Past.
Support Cards: The most important cards to protect your combos. Crystalline Sliver, Root Sliver, Sliver Hivelord, Quick Sliver, Ward Sliver, Force of Will, Patriarch's Bidding.

Also if you are on the Tappedout Discord, I am over there as well with the same name. If you ever wanna just chat or talk about other MTG stuff. I have been on and off of this game since I started playing in the Time Spiral Block in 2006. I just recently got into the game again at the insistence of my wife. She said I needed something to do outside the house and needed to learn to be an individual again. She has even looked at buying me cards for my birthday this year. I don't know what she got, but if I had to guess, it is something to help my first deck which is everyone's hated creature "Slivers". I haven't published my deck yet because I am still working on making that one the way I like it. It does have Sliver Hivelord as the commander.

Thank you for your recommendations, I could have sworn I already put Sliver Hivelord in there.

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.
