-4 lens
-4 suden shock

+4 mindlash
+4 playstyle cards

goldfishes win on turns 5 or 6

mindlash is great once theyre topdecking (if u get there) because it stops their lategame spells

anyways the deck is fine and new slivers dont make ol ones look bad... sedge is the best one printed yet.

I would change 2 Essence Sliver 1 Plutomic S1iver for calciderm and move essence to sb, and lens for isolation main deck, 5 swmaps is obv too much, 4 Terramorphic Expanse is a obv choise, 4 Gemstone Mine and 1 urborg too, I would cut some swamps for that.

I've played a couple games, won much more than i've lost. 4 colors isn't hard to swing; there are times when you get color screwed, but less often than you'd expect. 4 Terras and 4 Mines pretty much guaruntee you'll get the color you need most for a particular hand. Urborgs are great... I'm considering upping them to 3. Not only do they let you regenerate your slivers with any land, but they save you the trouble of removing counters from gemstone mines when you need them for colorless and allow you to tap terramorphic expanses for mana the turn they come out, very useful around turn 5 when you want to be laying down might slivers.

Never run more than 4 non sliver, nonland cards. Slivers perform all the essential tasks - pump up, removal, mana. You really don't need anything but slivers.

Two-Headed Sliver and Firewake Sliver are really really good. Two Headed Sliver effectively doubles your sliver count because they can only block half; Firewake gives you extra effective slivers each turn and allows you to drop your entire hand if you have gemhide sliver out.

Sideboard is pretty self-explanatory; I haven't tested Voidstone Gargoyle yet, but I figure it might be alright at stopping combo and Damnation. It's too clunky to bring in against control, but could be useful. Harmonic Slivers are very good against Damnation - Totem control decks; vs those you want to conserve your slivers, playing 3-4 at a time and forcing their removal. Cautery and Firewake become very good here because they lessen the potency of non-split second spot removal; Damnation isn't too much trouble if you don't overextend.

I went 5-1 at the last trial with 5-color Slivers. It's not exactly the same as your versions, it has a better game vs control (particularly Monoblack which I beat 4 times in a row) but a worse game vs Monored (1-1) and Pickles (I always lose to Pickles).

Let's hope it gets posted soon.
