Bow of Nylea (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Bow+of+Nylea):  nice addition I will add it to my deck
Door of Destinies (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Door+of+Destinies):  high mana cost I gues...?

Its a really good deck. I used to run something like it on MTGO. The only thing i would suggest is to fun the shock (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Shock) lands of the three colors you have it in and maybe some scry lands as well. It will help with the deck and make it run a lot faster. your Battle Sliver (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Battle+Sliver) is ok but i would take him out and run an extra Bonescythe Sliver (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Bonescythe+Sliver) and Blur Sliver (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blur+Sliver) over him. Though and withe the manawelf sliver in the deck i would also try running 1 or 2 galerider sliver (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Galerider+Sliver). They make for good game enders. More mutavault (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Mutavault) would help as well and Door of Destinies (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Door+of+Destinies) is good but and i would try testing it out some. I wold try one more Garruk, Caller of Beasts (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Garruk%2C+Caller+of+Beasts) and 2 more Domri Rade (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Domri+Rade) if you can get them. These are some suggestion i have for the deck. But I really like the deck Slivers are a favorite creature of mine and was glad they came back in M14.

Thanks for all those suggestions.  I do agree with a lot of it, the main problem is the sheer expense of all of it!  A game set of Mutavault (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Mutavault) is very expensive, the lands that you describe are notoriously expensive.  2 more of Domri Rade (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Domri+Rade) and another Garruk, Caller of Beasts (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Garruk%2C+Caller+of+Beasts) along with everything else would see me off down the pawn shop!  Nice suggestions though!

I particularly like the interaction between the Thorncaster Sliver (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Thorncaster+Sliver) and the Bow of Nylea (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Bow+of+Nylea).  With sufficient Slivers on the Battlefield it is pretty easy to clear your opponents forces with that combo!  If money was no option, I'd definitely invest in 3 more Mutavault (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Mutavault), I really like that land and a load of shock (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Shock)/scry lands would also be nice.

I'm from the UK, perhaps prices for MTG cards are cheaper in the USA.

These prices are from a competitive UK retailer:

Mutavault (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Mutavault) = £26.00 each
Scry lands = £3.40 each (average) - the different colour combinations vary in prices
Shock (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Shock) lands = £11.00 each (average) - the different colour combinations vary in prices
Domri Rade (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Domri+Rade) = £24.00 each
Garruk, Caller of Beasts (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Garruk%2C+Caller+of+Beasts) = £16.00 each

Therefore 3 Mutavault (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Mutavault) (£78), 8 scry lands (£28), 8 shock (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Shock) lands (£88), 2 Domri Rade (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Domri+Rade) (£48) and a Garruk, Caller of Beasts (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Garruk%2C+Caller+of+Beasts) (£16) would come to a small fortune, setting you back in the region of £258, from a competitive and reasonably price shop.

This of course is the biggest problem when trying to improve on your cards!

Thanks away,

Phil
