But my favorite is the Guildpact Niv-Mizzet. The new Niv-Mizzet draws a bit too much negativity and The Locust God draws way too much attention to itself.
Outside of Tribal where it literally is the best Sliver I wonder if anyone has run it just to protect Sliver Queen in a five color Jank deck? Or maybe as a sticky bear in Blue White tempo. I know Necrotic Sliver and Harmonic Sliver get used in non-tribal decks as removal.
I also find people who do use them to be the more immature section of the player base that are desperate to always win, try to insult you for running cards they deem poor (not in a casual funny way) and most likely to throw a tantrum when things aren't going their way.
I don't know about Game Plan, but nobody ever wanted to help me cast Play of The Game, even when one player was far ahead. I guess the mentality is people are protective of the permanents they cast regardless of the game situation.
So I stopped playing assist cards. Just doesn't gel with the mindset of players.

Or Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest with a sacrifice outlet of choice like Ashnod's Altar to make your army of rats grow.
Note that Mazirek is an insect so you can also regenerate him with a Swarmyard as well as your rats.
Malfegor could be a way of wiping your opponent's board to push your rats through. Kaervek The Merciless could make for a funny side game.
Then why are you looking at Boros? Just sayin'.
Look at Aurelia, The Warleader. Even with the extra high life totals and multiple players of Commander you throw in some Double Strike ( Duelist's Heritage ) on top of Double Damage ( Dictate of the Twin Gods or Charging Tuskodon ] and throw in a Heartless Hidetsugu then those high life totals are going to look pretty low in next to no time.

Teroh's Faithful was standard legal when Astral Slide was a deck. So he's seen more play.

If anything it gave the Amonkhet block at least a few cards that were semi-decent.
Or are you supposed to use Samut? Some of the Jackal's are black though.
