With forcing myself to play first sliver, however, I've noticed it's beyond busted when you can get sensei's top out or soothsaying. Top allows for a quick look and if you've got a sliver with cost two or greater, all you need to do is draw with top and get it back off the cast, rinse and repeat.
Hey I was thinking of adding this card: ancestral knowledge. Thoughts? And do you have a decklist posted anywhere? And congregation at dawn is insane with the first sliver too.
Also, one cascade trick I like is having galerider sliver because the only 0 cmc spell is mana crypt so I'm guaranteed to cast it when I cascade with the galerider.
As for Morophon, the Boundless, I think that the card is great once it is in play but 7 mana is a lot unless you are ramping hard. And even then, once you get it out you have presumably already played the other cards in your hand and/or you have plenty of mana in play to cast whatever you may draw so the mana savings ability is somewhat moot. I think that you are right in looking at ways to cheat it into play, but I think that a Slivers deck really doesn't need what Morophon provides. On top of that, there are just plenty of other ways to cheat on mana in a deck like this when you combo out, so I would just skip it.
I agree. I see it as a winmore card that only slows the deck down.
Sliver tribal is certainly not tier 1, but people do threat assessments as though it is.
I'm trying to make my Sliver overlord deck as strong and fast as possible and I got a foil the first sliver for a great price. The deck is essentially all slivers, ramp, tutors, and removal. I love what the first sliver does, especially if I cast congregation at dawn first, but I find it's slow and clunky most of the time. I haven't gotten a morophon, the boundless yet but I'm guessing I'll feel the same way about that too. The deck is relatively slow and those cards slow it down more. They're really cool with hibernation sliver: pay 2 life, recast your general for free with cascade - but it's hard getting those three cards in play.
I've been trying to figure out good ways of getting those cards on the battlefield quickly, such as getting them into the graveyard with stuff like buried alive or survival of the fittest and cheating them into play. But everything I come up feels slow and clunky compared to my other decks and I feel like I should trade or sell the first sliver. Does anyone have any ideas or can link me to a cedh decklist using either/both of these cards?
