![]() Indestructibility can be a straightforward battering ram, but it can also be extremely tricksy when a Sliver deck is playing one-sided board wipes, you know you're in trouble.Ĭard to consider: Synchronous Sliver. ![]() The oft-ignored Psionic Sliver will never accidentally kill your creatures, since they're indestructible anyway, and opens up a lot of fun interactions with Spiteful Sliver and Syphon Sliver. This commander seems like a great place for your own cache of board wipes such as Blasphemous Act, blasting away any creature that would impede your indestructible army. In fact, I think there's a lot of yet-untapped potential here. With Sliver Hivelord, slow and steady wins the race. You'll need mana to cast your Distant Melody and Kindred Summons and Vanquisher's Banner, so don't waste a mana rock on a card that only casts a third of the cards in your deck. I have to pause for a moment to call out a card on Sliver Hivelord 's page that does not deserve to be there: Pillar of Origins. With just about 80 decks more than the Queen, Sliver Hivelord swings in to make the army indestructible! I'm personally aesthetically bothered that this is the only one of the five legends to sport a power and toughness of 5/5 instead of 7/7, but I suppose there had to be an oddball in the family somewhere. Leaning into her token generation seems to be the wisest move, and given its sheer efficiency, cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors will end the game in shorter order than any concessions you make to tribal synergy. Grandstanding aside, her specialities as a commander lay outside the realm of tribal. ![]() But the Queen? She has popular builds for tokens with Divine Visitation, and heck, even a planeswalkers option, because she makes excellent blockers for a Superfriends strategy! She's a traitor to Sliverkind! Other legendary Slivers have one possible theme: Sliver tribal. Heck, just look at her most popular themes: But that's the thing - Sliver Queen isn't really a Sliver deck. Those tokens are a resource for purposes quite apart from the traditional boundaries of the tribe.Ĭard to consider: Purphoros, God of the Forge. If you spy the Queen in the command zone, be on the lookout for combos. This is also a deck that likely won't need many of the Muscle Sliver or other combat-focused tribal effects.
