Hi Mortlocke!

I was wondering if you've considered And They Shall Know No Fear a as possible inclusion in the deck? It could be a decent protection against board-wipe if the meta start to get a bit too heavy on that front while doubling as a possible surprise cover for a free attack turn while The First Sliver is of the board.

The best Slivers deck I've ever run was a deck revolving around using Didgeridoo or Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord to drop Morophon, the Boundless, then casting The First Sliver for free and cascading a bunch of cards. I used cards like Hibernation Sliver and Wheel of Fate to keep the cycle going.

It was capable of turn 1 wins but it wasn't very consistent. Adding Brainstorm and such helped matter, but it wasn't perfect.

(Note: just noticed that you specified Modern. My bad.)

Qui-Gon-Chi-Ching Slivers aren't really a thing at the competitive level, but I've seen some good high-casual decks. Modern Horizons introduced Cloudshredder Sliver, Lavabelly Sliver, The First Sliver, Spiteful Sliver and Scuttling Sliver as potential build-arounds, among a few others.

You should consider using a lot more of the Manaweft Sliver, Gemhide Sliver, and Cloudshredder Sliver. Also you might find the Homing Sliver and The First Sliver useful.

Hello, thanks for the suggestions. In my current playgroup, there's a lot of interaction (counterspells and removal), so when you go for a commander like Sliver Overlord, it tends to get removed pretty quickly without doing much. The First Sliver on the other hand, has an "on-cast" effect, so at least you get the cascade and you can play as early as you get to 5 mana.

Citanul Flute, Distant Melody and Kindred Summons are really interesting cards, I will experiment with that.
