Hey I currently have a sliver EDH deck I'm loving. It utilizes good passives and abilities with tribal. I have had issues in 1v1 where players are ramping faster than me. I edited my deck slightly to include a bit more ramp. The goal is to play enough slivers to win or combo out, or to steal creatures and win via turning my opponents critters against them.
My question. As most of my slivers are 3 cmc or lower, can you guys throw together some cards or combos that plays out lower mana cost creatures. Ideally if i could play out my whole library, or get close. That would be cool.
Just curious what I have available to play out a bunch of low cost creatures in one go (something that kinda vomits my creatures onto the battlefield)
Why are you using some of the smaller sliver bonuses? A good rule of thumb is, unless total P/T is even, you shouldn't use it. (This is also great with Wild Pair.)
I see you use Venom Sliver. Booyah! (I really wish I had a nontribal version of this combo for my Saskia.)
You can also benefit from Urza's Incubator. Most slivers only cost one point of mana of any given color.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Clones are a favorite of mine because some sliver abilities (the +X/+X slivers, Harmonic Sliver, Dormant Sliver, Virulent Sliver, Brood Sliver, Lymph Sliver, Opaline Sliver, Fungus Sliver, Leeching Sliver, Mesmeric Sliver, Synapse Sliver, Spined Sliver, Thorncaster Sliver, and Vampiric Sliver) stack, and cloning Ward Sliver lets you gain protection from other colors. I wouldn't use all of those, but there are enough that I would use to consider that factor.

On phasing:
Aluren - Play most of your Slivers for free and at instant speed.
Mana Echoes and Ashnod's Altar - Produces all sorts of colorless mana and goes infinite with Sliver Queen and allows you to go deep with Sliver Overlord
Earthcraft, Cryptolith Rite, and Intruder Alarm - Allow you to play out tons of creatures in one turn.
Glimpse of Nature, Lifecrafter's Bestiary, and Beck // Call - Allow you to draw your deck.
