I have one of those silly sliver decks that plays Gemhide Sliver, Firewake Sliver, and Dormant Sliver to draw lots of cards, and I try to end the game with Intruder Alarm and Virulent Sliver. Of course, I'm afraid of wrath effects. So I'm wondering, is it worth playing a 1-of Sliver Hivelord to protect against that? Would Frenetic Sliver be just as good? Or should I go a different route, like Patriarch's Bidding? I feel like there has to be a better option than spending all that time to tutor for a 5-mana answer to a 4-mana spell.
+1 for Sliver Hivelord. If you can afford one, get it.
If you can't cast Homing Sliver, the problem is with your landbase, not with the sliver itself (Homie is secretly incredible once it's out... play it, throw something naff to fetch Crystalline Sliver and Gemhide Sliver... sit back and enjoy life...).

I meant I can't use Homing Sliver's own slivercycling ability with Ancient Ziggurat. The manabase is sweet--9 free City of Brass? (I only have one Cavern of Souls) Yes please.
Thanks for reminding me about Crystalline Sliver. That card seems important, although I draw so many cards that the slivers tend to replace themselves.
Going along with that, I might as well ask what people think the best tutors are. Homing Sliver, Eladamri's Call, Congregation at Dawn, and Chord of Calling are all ones I've thought of. I just don't like that I can't cast any of them with Ancient Ziggurat and the middle two with Sliver Hive.
