There’s Squirrel Nest + Intruder Alarm + Arbor elf/Kiora’s Follower and also the now very banned Hogaak + 2 Bridge from Below (in graveyard) + altar of dimentia
Has anyone else toyed with the idea of adding worship to the deck and shifting the deck towards a more long game deck with difficult to remove slivers and lots of value? I have been running a list similar to this at FNMs lately and seeing more success against some decks that might traditionally be difficult game one matchups. It also makes the manabase a whole lot more manageable.
Also I’m starting to think 6 value cards is a little much for an aggro deck so i may go down to 1-2 cocos and add another lifegain or put the quilled sliver in the main
I think you are probably going to be gassed or draw the 1 drops later. Humans and Merton can get away with it to some extent due to card quality with humans and cantrips for merfolk. They also provide a measure of disruption that Slivers can't match. Coco is primarily there as a card advantage tool that Slivers desperately i think needs. It's awkward and clunky, but unless you are low fast slivers racing, you will need it.

I think that descendants path works better as a card advantage tool, as it gets many more cards over the game. I for one find myself much happier casting a path than a coco, so i may eventually cut the coco.
Yea I don’t really see a ton of burn and descendants path is actually mainly a card for control and value decks as a way of outvaluing opponents if i can get one sliver to stick (usually via vial) there is one syphon, and i used to play two but I don’t see tons of burn so i put in a third path. Since there are 30 slivers in the deck, getting a free extra card every other turn really helps in even semi-stalled boards and if you ever get 2 down it’s unbeatable.
I don’t think Morophon is very good, just because it’s seven mana, and if you can cast that you don’t need a cost reduction.

I like damping sphere a lot better because it also beats tron.
