Deck Description

The commander would be Sliver Overlord for his tutoring ability. One goal would be Tunnel vision naming living death. Once you play living death hopefully the 20+ slivers you had to put in your graveyard when you played Tunnel Vision will now all be coming back in to make one massive swing at all of your opponents!

I appreciate any suggestions or comments. I'm a casual player and this is just a for fun deck I came up with.

Deck discussion for Sliver OverLord EDH

Building one of these right now. Super excited about including some of the new slivers as well!

A few ideas for consideration:

Amoebid changeling, unnatural selection. Combo those with your commander's 2nd ability and steal their creatures all day long.

Training ground: cost to tutor or steal becomes 1. all other abilities by slivers will cost no more than 1. Dominate the board, induce despair.

Cryptic gateway: use your mana to tutor via overlord, use your slivers to play them!

Cultivate, spoils of victory, sylvan scrying, etc. 5 color can run into the ground quickly if you rely on nonland permanents to generate the missing colors you need in 5 color- any opponent with any sanity will blow up the chromatic lantern at earliest opportunity. Searching out and playing the lands that generate the mana you need can really help.

All the beautiful tutors: Snagging a ward sliver to shut down a mono colored edh deck can give you a distinct advantage, and luckily your commander can search for that. But what about when they've plum got you overrun? Having demonic and mystical tutor in hand can grab you the necessary cyclonic rift to blow up their board as you set up your defenses.

Just some ideas, though. Looks like a lot of fun- really wish I had some of those high-end slivers for my cheaper deck!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I actually just ordered up a bunch of those cards based off your suggestions! Once you get your EDH Sliver deck made let me know, I'd love to check it out!

My buddy plays a net deck (I forget the name) where he gets these nasty creatures and then gives them to the opponent causing them to loose life or have other negatives every turn such as rust elemental etc. Unnatural selection and Amoeboid Changeling would be perfect paired with Darkheart or Crypt Sliver as I could change the creatures he gives to me into Slivers and then sac them for life gain!

Just finished throwing together my first pass at sliver domination! You can check it here:
http://www.mtgvault.com/eljefe/decks/sliver-overlord-edh/
Definitely doesn't have your price tag on the cost, but I have yet to run into mana troubles after 4 rounds of play thus far (won 3 of the 4, too!).

A few of the cards I LOVE in the deck are:
mana echoes. With sliver queen, you instantly go infinite on creatures and mana.
wild pair. Send out galerider for one blue, get mirror entity as well, and use remaining mana to swing huge flying creatures at them!
Synapse sliver + shifting sliver = super card advantage.

There are many other fun fun things, and these decks give you such versatility to manage any cards your opponents bring out. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on my version!

I've been meaning to pick up another Galerider Sliver but every time I'm on ebay I forget to look for one lol. I like the Synapse+Shifting Sliver idea!

Glad to hear your deck came together, I'll go check it out now!

If you're going to run Guildgates, you might as well use Temples or Shocklands.

I actually was just in the process of switching them all out for dual lands. I've got a couple of them so I'll probably just proxy the others being I only play against my buddy and he doesn't mind proxies.

This is maybe the most deadly Sliver Overlord EDH that I've seen.
I don't have many cards to suggest, but stilll if I were you, I would consider adding Ultimatums, maybe Cruel, Titanic and/or Violent Ultimatum?

Thank you! Coming from you that is high praise!

The Ultimatum cards are a great idea. I'm actually going to order those 3 up today so I can throw them in the deck. They seem like they'll be a great addition to the deck.

Thanks again!

Yeah they are a lot of fun that's for sure. If you need any help feel free to ask me. I'm not an expert by any means as I just play casually but I'd be happy to help where I can.

Played my buddy 5 times with this deck over friday night and saturday. I won 4 out of 5 times so I'm pretty happy with it. Tunnel vision plus living death worked perfectly. 3 out of the 4 times I won I did that combo and put massive amounts of creatures out with haste, flying, protection, doublestrike etc to swing for hundreds of damage thanks to Sliver legion and the additional 20 or so Slivers that all got put into the battlefield :).

I did make a few changes to the deck in the land department to make it a more reasonably priced deck but I'll have to grab the deck to update what lands I've got in here now.
