MTG Salvation

Hey guys,

I have a Sliver Overlord deck that was geared towards Multiplayer, but I'm getting tired of running Zur/Talrand/Marath since they're just whores at what they do - I figured I'd build something that was on a theme of a little more fun. Building this one towards French EDH rules. I purposely made this a creature heavy build since I want this to be more hive-mind on theme with how slivers are. Having said that, if there is something that just isn't pulling it's weight, please let me know!

Other cards that have been considered:
Into the Wilds - Ramp for free once it is down for the rest of the game.
Sensei's Divining Top - About to get banned I'm sure, so doubtful that I will include it since this is a nearly completely foiled out deck and I just can't justify buying it when I'm sure it'll get the axe.
Cultivate Types of cards - Ramp.
Darksteel Ingot - Grounds out my Harmonic Sliver and ramps towards my commander
Chromatic Lantern - Ramp and filtering. I haven't had many issues with needing specific mana colors thus far though...
Catastrophe - This should be just a victory if it resolves.

Hey!

I play on French EDH and use a Sliver Overlord deck, maybe I can help speed up some things from going multiplayer to 1v1 with slivers xD.

I used to gear a creature heavy Sliver Overlord deck, but man... I simply couldn't win the top tier decks, actually I couldn't compete with them, because my commander is way mana hungry to get on play and tutor for stuff without getting answered.
Considering your on original duals, I think you should make a truly competitive Sliver deck, that will make those who says he is too slow to win games, to just watch the hive :).

The ways I found Sliver Overlord to work, is go control or combo, or a mix of both, when you are creature heavy you are trying to aggro out, but... They just don't have the strength to overrun good builded decks, If you use Sliver Legion as the commander with plenty of draw, then it has the power to overrun fast other decks.

I know you want a sliver heavy deck, but I think reducing 10 slivers to get more control or combo, depends on what you prefer, will make the deck much more consistent.

Prophet of Kruphix - She is a beast with Overlord, makes all slivers answers(flash) and also untaps your lands and creatures for another round of tutoring.
Bloom Tender - In this deck, tap generates 5 mana... Need more :D?
Why Diabolic Tutor when you can use Demonic Tutor ? And does not look like it will get banned

And if you really want to go combo, there are plenty of combos out of the deck... like
Aluren , Intruder Alarm

I'm just presuming you want to make it competitive, since you are using French list, but if you aren't, then it is ok to have almost all sliver effects you can get.

I do want to make it as competitive as possible.

The reason I went Diabolic over Demonic is purely cost - I want everything foiled out and Diabolic is $0.75 while Demonic is $100+ haha.


I added prophet of kruphix up to the top because I forgot that was in the maybes!

If you cut slivers, what would you cut?

Updated, let me know your thoughts guys! (:

Still missing 2 slots. Considering:
Praetor's Grasp since I can play any card in any other deck
Skyshroud Claim since I can always use more ramp than one haha
Catastrophe since it should just win the game

Anyone have thoughts on any other card that can be included? (:

I still think you should cut some slivers, the vanilla ones
Predatory Sliver and others...

And those that already have one effect like
Winged Sliver

Did you get to play with this deck already :D?

Oh I also on 1v1 am not so fan of
Decree of Pain , card draw is good, but 8 mana... I prefer Day of Judgment

Very fair! Ive found that I'm typically cycling it to wipe tokens uncounterably/ignoring indestructibility. I can definitely see it as something that could get replaced though!

I know I'm keen on keeping this super sliver dense, but your point is pretty valid! I'll have to continue to toy wit and see how the vanillas treat me. (:

So, cards that are maybes are:
Aluren
Intruder Alarm
Training Grounds
Heartstone
Catastrophe
Skyshroud Claim


I think I'm going to test Praetor's Grasp because that card is potentially hilarious! Grab silver bullets, tutor for what you want and know the opponent's deck!

You should play Mana Echoes. Goes infinite with Sliver Queen.

I realize, it's already in the list.

Took it out for a spin this past weekend - it did not disappoint! I think ramp will be some of the currently empty slots - Skyshroud Claim will be going in! Still considering the last few slots - Training ground is a major contender right now since that would power with my commander so hard.

Updated the original post with the current decklist. I haven't had a chance to try Bring to Light yet, but I'm not worried that it won't be a welcome addition! It's a great tutor in this deck. (:
