I used to have a very aggro/combo Sliver deck, with Sliver Overlord as my general. More and more, however, I find myself winning with Sliver Queen and Mana Echoes rather than traditional beatdown. This is a revamp of the deck, putting aside traditional sliver elements such as Muscle Sliver, Sinew Sliver and Might Sliver in favor of more tutor, more combo pieces, and more recursion. Feedback much appreciated!
Things I'm Thinking of Throwing Out: [card]
Venser, Shaper Savant[/card] for Altar of Dementia or Blasting Station. I don't know if 2 sac outlets are enough, but I like not having to rely on other people's graveyards for Body Double shenanigans.
EDIT 10: Took out Iona, Shield of Emeria and Bant Charm for Solemn Simulacrum and Diabolic Intent. Iona was just too much of a dead card for me to run main; she remains a great sideboard card though. Also, Bant Charm is a little too mana intensive for me to reliably cast early game. The mana-fixing and tutor effect is too strong to ignore. Also, the two interact very well with each other.
I dunno i always preferred Overlord as my general. I find depending on queen means you depend on your general too much. Overlord allows me to tutor so I don't have to worry too much on not getting the cards i need. I figure you are now saying "Well what if queen gets RFGed"
Simple, different win. I don't depend on infinit slivers to win the game.
Fair enough. Personally, I found Sliver Overlord too slow in assembling the combos. I have a lot of tutors in the deck, and having the queen as the general means one less combo piece to dig up, and people always hated on me playing overlord, but fine with the queen.
It's the old school method, and probably not legal in most settings but use a Mana Flare+Ashnods Altar+S.Queen. Oh, best thing to do is fill the rest of your deck with 1/3 non-sliver defensive and counter spells. They won't know what hit then on turn ten when you out of no where throw out the infinity sliver button. "Oh, yeah...by the way, you're dead."
I think this thread needs to be looked at again.
New gaea's cradle!
Was working with the locust god, but it's slow and meh.
I think this should be a control package with oops I win ending.
I am looking at building a competitive version of this. Thus, i am hijacking or going after this build in my own way. You have a nice skeleton. The lands to be blue based or esper set for board wipes. Will work on this over the week.
Also looking at a land destruction version.

Sliver Queen + Hearstone/Training Grounds +Basal Sliver / Ashnod's Altar
for infinite Slivers and infininte black/ colorless mana.
Sliver Queen + Firewake Sliver/ Heart Sliver +Basal Sliver/ Ashnod's Altar + Gemhide Sliver for infinite Slivers and mana
Sliver Queen + Mana Echoes for infinite slivers and mana
Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver/ Ashnod's Altar + Dormant Sliver to draw your deck
Reveillark Combos:
Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark + Any sac outlet for infinite mana or damage
Other Combos:
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker with Pestermite. Seems good with Tooth and Nail.
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir with Knowledge Pool. They can't cast spells from their hands!
Palinchron with Mirari's Wake, Mana Reflection or Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger means infinite mana. Tooth and Nail for Palinchron and Vorinclex seems good.

Venser is just a straight up awesome answer. Thinking now of pitching Shifting Sliver and Winged Sliver for Angel of Despair and Hinder.Thoughts?
EDIT: Took out Mutavault, Quicksliver Sliver and Path to Exile for Leyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery and Altar of Dementia. More and more I find myself needing more instant speed action and more sac outlets.
EDIT 2: Took out Sliver Legion for Pact of Negation. If I'm not playing Muscle Sliver or Might Sliver, why play with the biggest pumper of all??
EDIT 3: Took out Winged Sliver for Counterspell. Finding this deck needs to deal with things on the stack.
EDIT 4: Took out Synapse Sliver, Shifting Sliver and Naya Charm for Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Knowledge Pool and Voidslime. Moving the deck away from combat fully and into combo.
EDIT 5: Took out Sliver Overlord and Rite of Replication for Splinter Twin and Deceiver Exarch. More combos.
EDIT 6: Took out Deceiver Exarch, Splinter Twin and Patriarch's Bidding for Pernicious Deeds, Maelstrom Pulse, and Sliver Overlord. The Splinter Twin/Exarch combo is just not as good without something ike TnT to tutor them into play. Decided to further protect my present combos instead.
EDIT 7: Took out Mirror Entity for Beast Within.
EDIT 8: Took out Sliver Overlord, Root Sliver and Kodama's Reach for Iona, Shield of Emeria, Consecrated Sphinx and Primeval Titan. Sliver Overlord is less useful now that the sliver count is less than 10; Iona is a nasty surprise, able to lock out troublesome colors, and Root Sliver is out for the same reason as the Overlord; I opted for big mana and big draws instead.
EDIT 9: Took out Homing Sliver and Body Double for Palinchron and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
EDIT 10: Took out Iona, Shield of Emeria and Bant Charm for Solemn Simulacrum and Diabolic Intent. Iona was just too much of a dead card for me to run main; she remains a great sideboard card though. Also, Bant Charm is a little too mana intensive for me to reliably cast early game. The mana-fixing and tutor effect is too strong to ignore. Also, the two interact very well with each other.
