Hello everybody, I'd like to show you my version of Sliver Overlord Commander deck. Surely I miss some money cards like mana drain, force of will, all the dual lands, and unfortunately the Sliver Queen. But the way I play it, it's still funny and really competitive, trust me.

The main strategy of course is ramp in a sick way with my 2 favourite creatures Manaweft Sliver , Gemhide Sliver What I suggest is to use all the tutor that you've got in the first turns Eladamri's Call , Worldly Tutor , Demonic Tutor , Homing Sliver , to get these creatures. Crystalline Sliver , Manaweft Sliver , Gemhide Sliver , Lotus Cobra .

After that you've got enough mana to cast your commander, you need to pick a decision, depends of the strategy and the board of your opponent, cast the Overlord or try to tutor or cast a protection Sliver fisrt, Crystalline Sliver , Sliver Hivelord , Ward Sliver .

At this point of the game you should have played your commander and a protection sliver. I've seen that most of the competitive lists doesn't play too many removals, but according to me is really important to play those cards in order to protect yourself till your commander is played. Bant Charm , Mortify , Putrefy , Path to Exile , Swords to Plowshares , Oblivion Ring .

Once that the Overlord is played, ther's one question, "which one should I tutor" (with the tutor ablity of the Overlord) First of all, you need to have patience, don't put the strongest creatures you have as soon as you can. there's a lot of choices:

Are you playng against an affinity or an enchantment deck?, surely you need to tutor Harmonic Sliver and clean the board as soon that you can.

Are you playng against a control?, Root Sliver is your answer

Are you playng against an aggro? Shadow Sliver is a good option to attack without been blocked.

Are you playng against a Planeswalker deck? Necrotic Sliver is a good way to get out all the permanents that are botheirng you.

All the decks have one common things, they need to spend mana to cast spells of course, and that's why before tutoring any of these Sliver, according to me, you need to get the Telekinetic Sliver as soon as you can, to tap all the opponent lands every turn while you're farming slivers.

One of the last interesting strategy is to get Morophon, the Boundless to tutor and cast all yours five coloerd Sliver in one turn without paying their mana cost.

Quick Tips:

if you've alredy played Manaweft or Gemhide Sliver and you've got at least 2 or more other slivers, a nice way to close the game is to cast Armageddon , that's why I play it.

Defense of the Heart is a quite strong card, that's why I love to play it BEFORE the opponent has three or more creatures, to let him play without cast more than two creatures. if you play it before, for sure is going to be wiped away from the board, but in the meantime, the opponent is stucked, and you've got time to farm Slivers.

this deck doesn't have too many ways to draw new cards, and that's why I play the Dormant Sliver , that allow you to draw every time you cast a Sliver, this can be a pain in the ass for your opponent. then when you don't need it anymore, ther's a couple of ways you can easily take it out from the board by yourself using these cards. Hibernation Sliver , Necrotic Sliver

Aether Vial , this deck has 14 crearures that costs 2 mana, so most of the time is better to leave the vial with TWO counters on it.

Most of the people maybe can say that The First Sliver is not so strong, but you know what...I love Cascade party, once I got 4 Slivers in a row, it was sick!. Most of the time The Fist Sliver is my first choice with Bring to Light in order to get for sure at least two cards with one cast.

As I said before, you need to have patience to play this deck, using it in the right way is really funny and competitive as well.

That's it, hope this guide can help you to play this deck the way you want.

Always remember. We are the end of evolution!
