Help wanted w/ Standard Slivers for FNM today!
« on: September 12, 2013, 05:28:17 pm »
I'm going to try this deck ( https://deckstats.net/decks/7052/31459-slivers ) at FNM (Standard format) tomorrow and would appreciate any help or suggestions. The Most popular decks being used in my area right now are Selesnya and a few other creature-heavy guild decks.

Need some enchantment/artifact removal. The worst thing that you can have happen is someone to O-Ring your Manaweft Sliver or Galerider Sliver.

Naturalize comes to mind since it does either or.
This space for rent.

Thanks WWolfe! That is a good idea. However I don't think I would put it in just yet, because, most of the people I will be playing also use creature heavy decks with few enchantments or other non creature spells. I will probably put that in my sideboard on the off chance I encounter the dreaded O-ring or a Pacifism.

if u can get your hands on a mutavault or two they go so far in sliver decks because they can instantly become a 2/2 sliver whenever you want. Its so sneaky and u can use it however you want.

maybe adding a few chromatic lantern since that takes care of your mana problems.

I noticed you don't have the haste sliver, maybe its just personal preference, but I love having all of my slivers swinging asap.

So I am looking at your mana. You have 3 galerider sliver and 3 syphon sliver which you don't have any basic land for, but you have 5 cards that give any color mana. If I were you I would take out transguild promenade and add more chromatic lantern

I ran a sliver deck not too long ago and the only thing I was consistently losing to was board wipe.  I would remove the Door of Destinies and the Galerider Sliver and add another Megantic and 2 more Thorncaster.  I also was running mutavaults with Decendants' Path the try and cheat slivers out.  Cavern of Souls is amazing for mana-fixing when all your creatures are slivers.  I would also suggest the removal of the striking slivers with the blur slivers as haste really is valuable.  I found that the Bonescythe and the Siphon were the hardest for people to deal with, especially with the stacked effects.  Good Luck.

Thanks people!! I have done a little revision. Here it is https://deckstats.net/decks/7052/31459-slivers . Unfortunately I was only able to get 1 Chromatic Lantern and couldn't find any Cavern of Souls or Mutavault in a timely manner. As far as the Cards I have to work with go, I have a play set of all the modern slivers, another pacifism, a playset of silence, a couple of Cathars' Crusade and maybe some white protection like safe passage or pay no heed. any more thoughts?

It may be too late for you to make too many changes for FNM, but I put together a suggestion deck. https://deckstats.net/decks/7166/32085-gruul-slivers

The idea is to limit the colors so that dual lands are not a requirement.

Nice build! Unfortunately, it is too late for this weeks game, but definitely something worth looking into for next week. it looks very solid and has a nice mana curve. Thanks!

i feel like if you only use 2 colors for slivers you are wasting their potential. From what I have seen most sliver players go at least 3, or 4
