The 2014 core set brought Slivers back in a big way. A�I noticed that as I opened my 2015 core set booster box they have continued that trend into this year. A�I haven’t worked any of those cards into this deck, but I might see what I can do with them. A�I know that the trend is to run slivers as an EDH deck, but I don’t have a playable version of any of the commanders yet, so I will keep it as a 60 card deck for now.

This is my first serious attempt at a 5 color deck. A�I chose Slivers because they naturally lend themselves to including all five colors. A�There is not removal in the deck. A�It is simply about building a board and overwhelming your opponent before they have had a chance to do anything to defend themselves. A�I recently learned that it is highly vulnerable to removal if you are too aggressive, though, so it is a bit of a tight rope walk of when to go “all in”. A�All of my decks come with the caveat, “They might not win you may games, but they are fun to play!”
If I had to choose a few cards to cut, I might go with the onstructs and maybe the Hive Stirrings to get more slivers in there that directly affect the board with buffs of their own. A�Also, I might try to put some more land in there and maybe since I’ve rediscovered it, I’d include some Evolving Wilds. A�As with the Slivers themselves, this deck has the potential to change at any minute. A�Stay tuned for my updates.
