So I have what I think are some good ideas for my sliver deck, but I can never really clear the final hurdle of making the last round of cuts. Any help is appreciated.
Archetype of Endurance - Bad card is bad, if you want your team to have Hexproof, look up Asceticism or Privileged Position. This one is too expensive and vulnerable to creature sweepers. Ghostflame Sliver - I don't see why you'd need them to be colorless except for a trick with AiDs. You could safely drop this one. Living Death - Risky, but I could see it being good. Better if you have asymmetrical bin hate. Render Silent - I don't see why you would need this. There are better counters out there. Call to the Kindred - This is cute, but there's a reason few play it. It's a bad card. As an aura, it offers up a 2-for-1. You shouldn't like that part. Can it generate long-term advantage. Yes, but at the cost of tempo and a bad gamble. In any kind of game, that card makes the creature an extremely attractive target, and in multiplayer, the odds of removal being available are quite high unless all of your opponents run very little removal, which would be incredibly stupid of them. Gift of Immortality - Boooorrrrrrriiiinnnnnngggggggg! Seriously, you should not need this. If you want another way to get guys back, invest in a Genesis. Unnatural Selection - Interesting, you should pick between this and Amoeboid Changeling unless you're looking to really play up the I stealz all the thingz theme. Coat of Arms - Sliver Legion already does this, and that's tutorable via your (presumed) general
I assume you're trying to kill people with Purphoros + Sliver Queen + some combination of mana stuffs, or just mow them down with hoards of tokens. If that's the primary win, you'll want more ways to find Purphoros. So far I see 4 tutors for it. If you can't afford the best ones like Survival of the Fittest, Chord of Calling, Idyllic Tutor, and the like, there are some more budget friendly alternatives. Fauna Shaman, Beseech the Queen, Tooth and Nail
I believe Acidic Sliver would be to your liking.
Also, if I remember my slivers correctly, you don't have any pump slivers other than Legion

A kid at my local gameshop wanted to break a twenty.
"You got 2 tens?" he asked me.
"No, but I probably got 3 fives." I replied.
"Perfect!"
"You might want to check your math there."

Haven't thought of the manabase yet. I have a bunch of the godless shrine and temple lands, and a city of brass, mana confluence, etc.
Purpohoros is definitely one of my win conditions. I wanted some backups because if i ever lose him, need some good ways to win.
What other pump slivers would be worth it? Also, any planeswalkers I should add? Should I add in any of the orbs (static, torpor, winter)?
I do have an enlightened tutor that I may add.
Should I be adding more tutors? I have tooth and nail, beseech, fauna, and i might have a survival and chord, need to look.
I did have a genesis, but since it wasn't a sliver wasnt sure i should throw him in there.
