Edit: I thought my last comment sounded like an incoherent mess, so I deleted the old message in an attempt to make a comment that seemed thoughtful, sorry Bishoprage. But thanks for the +1!!

Hey Venum,

I think the whole new slivers incoming!? was for sure 90% of the hype behind Thrumming Hivepool. Despite that I went and acquired a copy anyway- because Slivers. But upon closer inspection I won't even slot it into this deck, it just lacks that "oomph" (see my whole rant about the card on my deck update). The closest thing to the card I wanted Thrumming Hivepool to be was Chronicle of Victory. Slivers overall need more - more concrete lore that firmly establishes their point of origin and their connection to Phyrexia (due to Volrath getting his grubby humanoid hands on the Sliver Queen *oversized*, forcing her to be his minion). Also, we need more Slivers who can provide interesting and varied options for play - e.g.

  • a Legendary Sliver that says all slivers gain each opponent mills a card equal to this creature's power
  • a Legendary Sliver that can end the turn for a cost and gives all Slivers myriad

Something fresh, but also powerful. What new takes on Slivers would you like to see? (really this is for anyone, not just you Venum)

I run Trouble in Pairs in my vampire deck The Nobility Are Athirst and it can be hit or miss. Not a home run by any means, but not so terrible i'd cut it. Honestly, it's the closest thing to a Rhystic Study monowhite is ever going to get, so by all means i'll run it there - but since this deck has access to blue, why bother running it? Study and Mystic Remora are all I need for my tax n' draw requirements.

Fist of Suns + Morophon, the Boundless + Yawgmoth's Will seems neat but you'll need another piece of the engine that keeps the cards flowing. Getting access to your graveyard is only good when it's full of powerful spells - because anything you cast that turn will go to exile. I can't say it's a combo worth having unless you can reliably keep a full grip. What was your intention with the combo?

I have a question for you (or really, anyone reading this) - do you think Slivers will make an appearance in the future Reality Fracture set? OR will they show up in Star Trek? Or both?

Defense of the Heart Pretty much does the same thing as your Tooth and Nail example. It's both slower and faster at the same time. Telegraphs hard, but honestly the ability to put any two creatures onto the battlefield will win you the game. Say maybe Sliver Queen *oversized* and Basal Sliver for example.

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?

Bishoprage,

I can absolutely relate on the wife front. I've been married for 8 years - just celebrated an anniversary and we'll likely be together for many more. She's already accepted my addicti-er...hobby. Just gotta make responsible budgets each month for entertainment. Also, I highly suggest you chat up a local game store (LGS) and feel out the management and staff - if they are trustworthy and amicable to their customers you should build a financial relationship with them - try to do as much business as possible there. Then when it comes time for you to want to get a BIG purchase for a birthday (like that aforementioned Sliver Queen *oversized*) you can make an arrangement where you give some trades as a down payment, and every paycheck you make small payments until the card is purchased. Yes, it's effectively layaway - but obviously you can't do that with all stores. This is more of a long term suggestion if you ever felt so inclined to collect some more expensive pieces. If you know you're never going to want to then I suggest you proxy to your heart's content. Few players seem to care as long as you're not playing in big tournaments with cash prizes.

As for card suggestions I think all of your swaps are spot on, except your filterland choices. Don't go with the Odyssey cycle lands like the aforementioned Skycloud Expanse. When they enter the battlefield they literally do nothing unless you have another mana source already on the field - including these limit your early game options. Pay the few dollars more and get the Shadowmoor filterlands e.g. Flooded Grove and Mystic Gate. The key differences here is that they all can produce mana - specifically - but their filtering option takes things one step further and can give you a two of one color as opposed to one of each.

Mox Diamond is tough to replace. It's a card with ridiculous power that just can't really be replicated. Considering price though, i'd go with a utility spell like the aforementioned Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention, or Sylvan Tutor. MindStone is also a very okay option as well because in the late game it can get you a card when in a pinch. This slot is reserved for low cost spells that help establish or maintain your boardstate. Go with what you think your deck needs.

Thanks for the detailed response! I have always loved strategy games and been aware of Magic but never really dove in. I'm throughly enjoying searching around for cards and seeing how different cards can work together. Sadly I just can't afford cards over say $100 right now. I think my wife would burn me at a stake if she knew I splurged for the Sliver Queen *oversized*!

I am definitely going to use Windfall to replace Wheel of Fortune. That just makes sense to me, basically the same effect with the only variable being drawing less than 7 cards.

Three Tree City also seems like a 1 for 1 for Gaea's Cradle. Yes, slightly less efficient but much more manageable budget wise. I wasn't aware of this card! Thank you!

I actually, settled on the Pain Lands after my last post. However, it's not a 1 for 1 swap for the original 10 duals because your list already included Adarkar Wastes and Yavimaya Coast. So, I just need to find replacements for Tropical Island and Tundra. Which I think will be Overflowing Basin and Skycloud Expanse. Sadly, the Sack lands will only be able to find the Shocks but it is what it is. I can't imagine having a Triome and it coming in tapped and not being able to play a card because of it. I again wasn't aware of the Filter Lands! Thank you x2!

So the only replacement card I need to think more about is Mox Diamond. Do you think I should stick with a mana rock? Or can I get away with another utility Sliver or interaction? Diffusion Sliver, Morophon, the Boundless, Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention, Mystical Tutor where the cards I've been eyeing.

Thank you x3!

so a cut for Flusterstormfoil... Eladamri's Call or Nature's Claim would be my choices. You either have better tutors, or these effects on a Sliver.

Id also likely chuck an Aura Shards in if you want some more interaction which isnt mandatory. You can play creatures at instant speed, or poop out a sliver baby with Sliver Queen that voids your need for Nature's Claim.

Have recently removed Carpet of Flowers as well given large numbers of non typed lands producing what people need, and so the benefit is becoming less and less. Every set there seems to be a new cycle of lands which dilute this cards power.

Anyway, just my little input from my side of the hive. Hope you are all well. May the Queens blessing be upon you

Dense Canopy is such a good one! Definitely one of the most unique effects, and cards like that that are game changing but not game changing from straight up power level, I love those cards.

My biggest pet card has to be Warrior Angel When I built my Kami Neon deck, I finally found a place for this card that has been my favorite forever. I remember getting Sliver Queen and Mox Diamond in packs of stronghold when I was a kid, but I never played anything as much as I played Warrior Angel

Also, I'd have to say Willbreaker I have a 60 card deck that uses the venture into the dungeon mechanic to hit target abilities like, target creature gets -2/0, which sounds underwhelming until it becomes a steal a creature : ) The whole deck became my pet deck, mostly because it was a pretty unhinged idea that I expected to not go anywhere and then it worked so crazy well.
