This deck is a little too scattered for my tastes. Its lack of clear objective makes it seem weak in comparison to usual combo decks. Archmage Ascension is exceedingly weak, and I think you'd be better off if you cut the deck to 60 cards. Frankly, if you found one combo that you really like and just focused on that, you'd likely do better than this deck looks like it will as is. I personally recommend the following:

4 Immortal Coil
4 Bazaar Trader
4 Eel Umbra
2 Relic of Progenitus
4 Ponder
4 Time Warp
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Earthquake
4 Merfolk Looter
4 Wall of Frost

4 Terramorphic Expanse
3 Crumbling Necropolis
4 Scalding Tarn
2 Swamp
3 Mountain
8 Island

But that's just my thoughts on the matter. Feel free to rate and comment on my decks, but don't feel obligated.

Damage doesn't reduce the toughness.

You would not like my first 2 decks. One has like 30 black lotus.

Cut it down to 60, I like the Ætherflame Wall, but please, no Heralds, they are useless for you except early game. I'd much rather see more beefy creatures. More acceleration. Outside that, I like it.

Yeah, no. I like Tolarian SentinEl, but I prefer to leave the bouncing to my opponents. With this deck, the only card they will want to bounce will be my tokens, which leaves me with the opportunity to swing in big with the Benthicore. Not to mention the fact that anyone who wastes a card slot on something like Tolarian SentinEl for a card you only have two of in deck is a little unwise. I'd rather have four cancels and four counterspells.

Hey, those are casual decks, man. So technically, they are legal in a format. Just not a tournament format.

EDIT Continued: Added Meddling Mage in place of Pithing Needle.

EDIT: Added four Fetid Heath, Four Sunken Ruins, Four Watery Grave, Four Godless Shrine.

Oh d'oh! You're right RileyandHolly. My mistake. I was thinking of the sliver that blows up permanents for a cost.
Consider that EDIT referring to that.

Awful choice of Brass Herald. You only have 17 creatures. That's less than 2/5 your deck. You should seriously pop some more creatures in. Make it more colors to make that easier, which you can do fine with nonbasic lands. Composite Golem would help in that case. The towers are too expensive to be usable early game, though it's good you only have 1 each. I would recommend putting some little golems in just to protect and defend early game.

Yay, more browser fail.

EDIT: Took out 4 doom blades for 4 Pithing Needles. To f*** up that Crystaline Sliver.

Just to see how they claimed it worked.

Actually, I'd like to see a one colored sliver deck that wasn't green, white, or black.

And all these comments just back up the fact that slivers are easy to build. You read these comments and write down the names of the slivers mentioned, then build a deck. How hard is that. Also, Dash Hopes is here for a reason, with isochron scepter, chances are, I'll be conserving the Dash Hopes in my hand like a Ward Sliver or Pulmonic. Also keep in mind that Plague Sliver gets all the bonuses of your slivers, so using a sliver to give slivers protection and then claiming to kill mine, isn't gonna work.

For the Record, the above double-post was due to browser error.

And Elf decks aren't the same way. They do take more planning than slivers. You can go wrong with elf decks. You can't with Slivers. The only way elf decks are easier than slivers is that the mana-base is simpler.

I just noticed a number of sliver decks being built, and decided to drop my Anti-Sliver deck on them.
