Deck Primer / Description

Overview

Replaced some Slivers with better ones. Added some kindred spells.

Mulligan for ramp into 5C.

Quick reference

Combos

Congregation at Dawn for utility slivers depending on game state (put Realmwalker first).

Spiteful Sliver + Blasphemous Act is a win con with enough slivers on the board. With Sliver Hivelord won't lose board.

Venom Sliver + Thorncaster Sliver makes any sliver ping on attack for an instant kill due to deathtouch. Venom Sliver + Striking Sliver or Bonescythe Sliver for first strike combat kills on attack or block. Venom Sliver + Horned Sliver + Sliver Hivelord on attack allows assignment of 1 damage to kill any blocker with remaining trample damage assigned to player.

Updgrades

Jodah, Archmage Eternal + Morophon, the Boundless = Free Slivers. Combine with Vanquisher's Banner for draw, and Realmwalker for top-casting.

Sliver Gravemother + Eternal Scourge + Ashnod's Altar + 3 opponents goes infinite for mana and haste creatures. With 2 opponents it is net zero on mana, but with Rukarumel, Biologist the creatures will be slivers for any ETB effects such as Thorncaster Sliver or Lavabelly Sliver
