Nexus made it   Survival is good if you have a bunch of graveyard revival.  I used it early on when I didn't have many slivers. Combined with reanimate and raise dead it was good.  I think you would want the unearth sliver if you decide to use survival.

Since this is a casual sliver deck there are two changes I am thinking about.

First is to make a pool of slivers that I randomly pull from to add to the deck. I would ensure one mana sliver, protection sliver, evasion sliver, card draw sliver, and the legends stay in permanently. The rest would be random.

Second, I am thinking about making The Prismatic Bridge the commander then.  I would probably cut back on the number of slivers by a couple and replace with tutors to make up for not always having the Sliver Overlord.

Thoughts?

Getting close. Trying to find more cards like Willbreaker where I can target opponents cards with my untappers and do something.

I gotcha.  I was going through the list of slivers to see what I want to add to my pool and I can't believe I didn't notice this before.  Mistform Sliver works with Mana Echoes in the same way as Maskwood Nexus, though you have to have mana available to get more mana out.  Though it doesn't really work with any other card.  That one will definitely be in the pool.

BTW, what does Emiel the Blessed do in this deck?  Just for Dockside?  Nexus might be good to go tutor that combo then.

The Nexus works with The First Sliver and probably an include for the cEDH The First Sliver decks.  Those don't have slivers in them so every other creature is a sliver then and can cascade. In a casual sliver deck it means non-slivers are slivers and can be tutored, like the Seedborn Muse which will help with tutoring more slivers each turn.

With Descendants' Path if you feel a board wipe is coming you just need to hold up three mana instead of 5 + Hive to get a sliver before your upkeep so the path can fully trigger.  Edit: sorry, already mentioned that, but as a reminder how it is better than the Sliver Hive if you want a backup sliver generator in a pinch...

Similar if you want to get that extra card draw from Dormant Sliver, much easier to tap 3 mana with the nexus if you don't have your queen out.  One thing you learn with a sliver deck is 3 mana is your magic number.  Most good slivers and the overlord's tutor need that.

Of course with The World Tree you can get all of your slivers out.  The World Tree is going in my deck regardless because having an extra Chromatic Lantern on a land is nice.  If you can get to double WUBRG than it is instant win.  Since I am doing a more casual sliver deck I will probably put in Repopulate and Haunting Voyage to ensure I can get all my slivers out.

I will be taking my sliver deck into a new direction now that they are reprinting a lot of slivers with Time Spiral.  I am going to have a standard set of cards that will always be in the deck.  Important stuff like the at least one of the mana slivers with Cryptolith Rite.  Leave the other mana sliver in the pool I will mention in a moment.  Dormant Sliver for draw.  The haste and flying sliver.  And the legends.  The rest I will pull out randomly from a pool of slivers so the deck will play differently every time I play it.

Edit: I thought you could click on someone's name and see their public decks.

I have a more casual sliver deck.  A combo I found that works really well is Mana Echoes and Maskwood Nexus.  Ideal board for that would also include Training Grounds and Sliver Overlord.  Free tutors on other player's turns is nice.  The nexus is nice with Descendant's Path also to ensure a sliver is there on your upkeep after a board wipe if you feel one is coming.

There's other interesting edge case interactions with nexus but not really good for cEDH.

Training Grounds is great.  I just did a trade to get one.  I was running Heartstone before that.
