My LGS Is starting a pauper league and I'd like to come out of nowhere with a deck no one is really prepared for so my plan is to build a Sliver deck and run it like Merfolk. Slivers have the Lords, for sure but I'm having a hard time finding a suitable sub for Merfolk's Æther Vial effect. I think if I could just cheat a few slivers onto the board on the right turn, just once, it could end the game. I've been playing this list on a free-to-play magic site with less than favorable results;

I think the the core of pauper slivers is:
4 Virulent Sliver
4 Sidewinder Sliver
4 Plated Sliver
4 Sinew Sliver
4 Predatory Sliver
4 Muscle Sliver
4 Hive Stirrings
I don't see a point of going other colors besides GW, our 12 lords, 12 one drops, and additional options in GW are amazing. I dislike losing consistency and tempo by adding more colors.
