Deck Description

I've been playing Magic now for about a month in a half and realized I made a mistake by working on a competitive deck made from a Journey into Nyx Intro Pack. I decided to wait till Origins comes out to make a new deck for FNM. I don't have anything to work on in the mean time so I thought why not a Modern Deck. I've been hearing about slivers and looked into realizing how cool they are and decided this will be the modern deck I work on in the mean time. 5 colors, trying to cut it down to 60 cards if I can.

Deck discussion for First Sliver Deck Modern Legal

I've had the thought of a Sliver deck in my mind for a while now, so I do have some thoughts that could make this pretty absurd.

First, I think you want a full 4 of Aether Vial, it'll let you play more Slivers and also do it at instant speed.

When it comes to the Sliver, I have found that instead of making this ultimate voltron of Slivers with hundreds of abilities etc. I think you want to have 4x of the core Slivers, and maybe 1-2 Silver Bullets, which can be tutored out using like Chord Of Calling etc.

I think you would want 4x of all the +1/+1 Slivers, Galerider and since we can't use Crystalline, I think you'll need a full 4x of the Diffusion for protection.

The Silver Bullets Slivers are like Harmonic, Darkheart for Burn and Necrotic to take out problem permanents.

And I don't think you really need Reliquary, the deck wants to kill the other player ASAP, and not hold onto guys for the long game, it could be 1-2 Mana Confluence, And 1x of other basics, probably Forest or Plains depending on what ends up being the dominate color.

Thank you for the advice, I'll try and update the list today taking that into consideration however I am trying to keep this at a 60 card deck if possible. I'll try and work with that, unless you think there's a better way to do that with sticking to 60 cards

Oh it's very easy to keep in the 60 card range. You make space by cutting the Slivers that don't actually help the deck a ton, or are too expensive to effectively play.

For example, if you have your land base correctly set, you won't even need the Mana Slivers. And the Large costing Slivers, Mana Cost larger then 4 or so, can be cut to make space for others.

Slivers beg to be aggressive, so lowering the curve helps them out.

I feel you need 24 lands, max. You are more aggro then anything.

I would turn the Watchers into Blurs and I think you'll be set.
