I wanted to make a G/x deck that could put out the fastest beats and win the quickest, and loving plague sliver with the chance of sliver decks in the format, I made this:

10 x Forest
8 x Swamp
1 x Pendelhaven
4 x Gemstone Mine

4 x Spectral Force
4 x Wall of roots
4 x Scryb Ranger
4 x Plague Sliver
4 x Timbermare

4 x Call of the herd
3 x Sudden Death
4 x Search for tomorrow
2 x Mwovoli Acid-moss
3 x Stonewood invocation
1 x Phyrexian totem(maybe?)

SB(Perhaps)
3 x Spike Feeder
3 x Utopia Vow
4 x Serrated Arrows
3 x Weatherseed totem
2 x Extipirate

MD Card choices:
Spectral force - Best green beater in the format; Either have an answer right off or lose.

Scryb Ranger - See above- As well blocks draining whelks

Plague sliver - 5/5 for 4 with little drawback (which in certain matchup's can/will win you the game)

Wall of roots - 3rd Turn plague sliver/spectral force(if combined with a search)

Timbermare - Gets in with the last 5 points of damage OR words amazingly with scryb Ranger and spectral force (Swinging for 13 anyone?)

Call of the herd - Pretty standard

Sudden death - Best removal in black(Not including the somewhat counterproductive damnation)

Search for tommorow - Land thinning+fixing+acceleration into a turn earlier 5/5 or 8/8.

Acid moss- Pretty devastating against some of the less robust mana bases of 3 colour decks(blinkriders, mishra, UBr) Usually can be played third turn (+ it's land thinning)

Stonewood - Usually it ends up being an 'I win' card. (And the untargetability helps too).

Phrexian Totem - I just threw that in now, as it is not only fixing, but a great finisher considering the lack of instant speed removal.

SB card choices:
Spike Feeder - Anti Burn aggro
Utopia Vow - Anti Spectral forces
Serrated Arrows - Anti alot of things
Weatherseed totem - Anti damnation
Extiparate - anti re-animation.

I think there may be a few card changes needed, but I can quite decide what...

Thoughts/suggestions/criticisms?

IMO Darkheart Sliver is great in this deck, even though it has anti-synergy with Plague Sliver (although you could argue that it works well with it, providing something to do when either sliver is going to die.)

So yeah, the deck is really good. Try it out sometime
