Deck Description

Are you bored? Does Magic: The Gathering feel old and vapid? Got any useless bucks in your bank account? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MTG marketplace website and buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends! To double the fun, ask your friend to create such a deck too!
The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time! These are meant to inspire you, and deck's value is meant to be low! (Between 10 and 20 bucks.)

How to Play

I designed a vastly more expensive Shadow oriented deck, but wanted to see if I could do something for cheaper... This is the result. The main goal of play is to get out as many slivers as possible, then drop a Dauthi Warlord and Shadow Sliver. Your Warlord's power should go through the roof while all of your slivers can attack directly. To get to that point, make use of the spell blocks and kill spells to hold your opponent back, and life gain artifacts to gain even more time if you're going slowly.

As for the side, I personally like Diffusion Sliver in the main as opposed to a counterspell from the side, you can honestly put just about any counterspell in the main/side that you like including Cancel, Negate, Dispel... Whatever boats your float. Jeweled Torque and Fog Bank give more health/defense in a pinch and Duress... Well it rather speaks for itself. Use anything that will give you a leg up though.

Other Slivers you might consider would include Syphon Sliver, Spitting Sliver, and Frenzy Sliver... of course Predatory Sliver could work well if you're willing to dip into Green for the deck...

Even if you don't get to the win con, this deck is crazy aggressive!

I really wanted to make the deck work, but it just gets wrecked by control x-x
