I'm interested in develping a Sliver deck for fun, and this is what I have come up with now. The Slivers are cool and work well together, Delay slows mass removal and there seems to be plenty of mana fixing. At this point in the deck I wouldn't be willing to pay for $20 rares (unless they would REALLY increase the effectiveness of the deck).
Yea, it would at best be a sideboard card against control, and while Im thinking about it Negate would be better than Delay against mass removal since Delay doesnt stop the mass removal(or removal in general) forever, but Negate does.
I hope I helped:)
You did! The only problem with Negate is that it is not Time Spiral block, which is what I am going for. Otherwise, it would be better.
You can also do a glittering wish version if you want, you get all your sliver needs sorted with that one handy card, even getting the Sliver Megazord, aka Sliver Legion ;]

Found myself agreeing with most of this post about Cavern of souls and countermagic.
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Here's where I am now.
Quick question, can Summoner's Pact be used to grab Sliver Legion? I would guess that it can't, since Summoner's Pact says "A green card" and it seems that Sliver Legion is a multi-color card. If this is true, I will probably move the Sliver Legion to the sideboard and use Glittering Wish to grab it. Of course, I could still grab him with Homing Sliver's ability I guess...
The mana spead seems pretty good and there's plenty of mana fixing, I can get the poison Sliver with Summoner's Pact and slow Wrath or Damnation with Delay.
4 Frenetic Sliver

4 Screeching Sliver
4 Telekinetic Sliver
4 Two-headed Sliver
4 Virulent Sliver
5 Forest
5 Island
5 Mountain

Any and all suggestions would be welcome!
Agreed! I think I will replaced Screeching Sliver with the Shadow Sliver. Much better!
(Unless this is a bad idea. I've had Screeching Sliver recommended, but it seems more like a sideboard card...)

Screeching Sliver is great, becuase its a one drop which this deck loves.
Also replace the Harmonic Slivers with Dormant Slivers. Seriously Dormant Slivers are amazing, especially when you have Firewake Sliver, Gemhide Sliver and Dormant Sliver = Play half the creatures in you deck.
And if you wnat to attack just sac Dormant Sliver to Firewake Sliver.
Also have you tried Summoners Pact? its great for searching out Virulent Sliver.
