by PlaneswalkerAtem on 23 January 2016

Main Deck (97 cards)

Sideboard (1 card)

Creatures (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I always wanted to use a sliver deck, but could never find a format where they were legal that I thought they would be able to compete in. Then, I found that EDH could be the right place. Sadly, I can't fahkin figure out why I'm always mana locked?

How to Play

Play all the slivers you can and keep on swingin'.

Deck discussion for is this Sliver EDH deck good?

You've got a couple duplicated cards to fix:

2x [Predatory Sliver]
2x [Winged Sliver]

The [Hivestone] is rathr redundant ... almost all your creatures are ALREADY slivers; there's only three creatures it could benefit.

You would benefit a lot from more-flexible land choices. For example, the Triple-color lands from Shards of Alara (e.g. [Crumbling Necropolis], U-B-R). Or more "any color" lands (e.g. [Cavern of Souls] from Avacyn Restored; [Rupture Spire] from several sets; [Transguild Promenade] from Return to Ravnica; and a few more). Even some "spend one to get one" lands, like Oath's [Holdout Settlement] (pay {1}, get 1 mana of any color) could be useful.

And especially with a 5-color Commander, the [Command Tower] (multiple sets; generates 1 of any color from your commander's color identity) would be an excellent choice.

...

For artifacts, still focussing on mana generation and flexibility, a [Chromatic Lantern] is IMO a MUST-have for any 3+ color deck, as it not only generates 1 mana of any color itself, it gives ALL your lands the ability to tap for any color. Even lands that normally generate NO mana (e.g. [Maze of Ith]).

Similarly, the [Commander's Sphere] is very useful; it generates one mana of any color in your Commander's color identity. For you, that's _all_ of them.

For 3 mana, each of these gives 1 mana of any color: [Manalith], [Spectral Searchlight], [Vessel of Endless Rest]

For 4 mana, the [Khalni Gem] makes 2 mana of any color.

For 5 mana, the [Gilded Lotus] makes 3 mana of any color.

...

The [Manaweft Sliver] grants all yoru slivers the ability to generate 1 mana of any color, too.

It's a slightly different build, but (probably like everyone else ever to even think about making an EDH deck) I've got one of my own, you're free to look over and see if you get any other ideas:
