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'm entering a mtg competition with tons of prizes and stuff so I put this together. I am still relatively new to magic so I haven't gotten deck building totally down yet. This deck has decent results in FNM but their is still room for improvement. Any help is much appreciated.

How to Play

Basically my plan is to play Somberwald Sage as soon as I can. Then put out as many slivers as I can till I can get an sliver hivelord or coat of arms.

Deck discussion for (Modern) Slivers

Sage is a terrible card(even worse in modern), just trying to help you out.
What you need is:
+3x Chord of Calling
+2x Predatory Sliver
+1x Manaweft Sliver
+4x Aether Vial(it's good to have this left at 2-3 counters, if you have more than one in play have one at 2 and one at 3. Vial lets you play slivers as combat tricks or at end of turn, also they can't be countered when played from vial)
+1x Harmonic Sliver maindeck(Chord of calling target, have another 1x Harmonic Sliver in the SB)
+1x Sliver Legion(instead of coat of arms, can be fetched with Chord.)
+3 Path to Exile
+1 Striking Sliver
+1 Venom Sliver

+16 card

Take out:

-2x Megantic Sliver
-4x Somberwald Sage
-1x Shadow Sliver(leave one in as a chord target)
-1x Call to the Kindred
-3x Firewake Sliver
-2x Elixir of Immortality
-1x Mirror Entity
-1x Bonescythe Sliver
-1x Chameleon Colossus
-1x Xenagos, the Reveler

-16 cards

It's also good to have protection and removal(not just in the form of slivers)

Mess around with your sideboard a bit also.

Thanks I never played competitively other than FNM and from what I'm told Its a totally different ball game when prizes are involved... any suggestion on what should be my win condition? At the moment my only goal is to overpower them with a swarm of slivers

yeah basically you just want to over run them, google "Modern Meathooks" I wouldn't recommend copying decks as it takes away from personality, but you will get an understanding of how sliver decks look in modern(disregard that one using fog that is bad.)

Modern is a whole nother ball game, Slivers are fun and a challenging deck to master as a lot of it is knowing when to fetch what you need.

The reason you need removal is because you need to be able to kill your dormant sliver to alpha or just get rid of pesky creatures.

I might actually do something along the lines of this.

Yea that looks pretty nice.... Question: How would you handle getting all your slivers countered/killed off faster than you can cast them into play? Like I was thinking maybe more diffusion sliver or something simular to elixer's so I can just shuffle them back into my library.

That's what aether vial is for, it lets you play them out faster than they should be able to deal with(baring some nut hand)
Diffusion is also good Vial is a must in most low curve aggro decks
