Vigilance slivers are great. You can attack, then tap them for mana and flash in other slivers that buff up the attackers.

Serve the hive. I control the groove. Serve the hive. I control the way you move.

[raimundopilotto]

Contrary to the popular belive that you can control the Hivemind, the reallity is that the Hivemind controls you into thinking you control it...
Awesome video guys!!!

Double coloured sliver: pulmonic sliver. It's also an anti boardwipe sliver.

[Agumon]

I just bought every sliver my LGS had and don’t know which commander to use or which ones to play hahah thank u for this vid! Liking before I even watch it!

Im in the middle of buying all the pieces to build a Sliver Deck. Using First Sliver as my commander. Ever since i was shown what Slivers could do, i instantly fell in love. I want to collect all the slivers and unleash their power lol. This was a very informative video and now i gotta find a chromatic lantern and Training Ground lol

Sliver Queen, Mana Echos, and 2 mana of any color creates an infinite amount of colorless mana. No reducers required

Also Sliver Hivelord is the only 5/5. The rest are WUBRG 7/7s

I play a green centric 5 color sliver deck that kills. In commander by turn 5 or 6, all my creature and all my lands are slivers. By turn 8 or 9 the entire world is overrun. I turn all my opponents creatures and lands into slivers too and steal them until all they're left with are artifacts and enchantments and as soon as I've gathered enough power, I unleash SLIVERGEDDON! Yeah pretty much no one wants to play against that deck.

Don’t under appreciate vigilance in an attack build. As a sliver deck especially you will be the target and allowing yourself to attack with your horde without leaving yourself open is huge in edh. Any attack build that can add vigilance is just improved.

[rodrigodamian]

This came as a Godsent. I've been out of the game for a couple of years and been looking for information to build a First Sliver tribal commander deck. Ironically, there isn't as much information as everyone makes it to be

[alandunn]

It's awesome to have seen you guys get to the point where you have a studio. It's been awesome watching the channel grow

[RefaTheGreat]

Fun Fact: There are only five Slivers with more than one of the same mana symbol (Banding Sliver, Plague Sliver, Pulmonic Sliver, Sliv-Mizzet, Hivemind, and Telekinetic Sliver) and only two of them are playtest cards (no points for guessing)!
Anyways, I've been enjoying these tribal videos a lot; looking forwards to Angels even though there's almost no support. :(

:) Kind of a missed opportunity at the end: "Subscribing Sliver", 1G, rules text: All slivers have "click the Subscribe button: you are subscribed"

You can do combo/combat damage effectively in the same deck by throwing in the evasion slivers

[suntitan]

Nice timing about to help my brother build a sliver deck and this helped refresh my memory

[crawdaddy]

I haven’t gotten even a minute in, so you may mention it later.
I really hope you include the Hive Mind/Pact combo...because Hive Mind.

[PatThePauper]

You made this one for me, I serve the hide

[shanavalkyria]

I'm super late here but clot sliver is an auto include becuse of crysteline sliver preventing targeting and clot being the only regen effect that does not target, sedge is better but slivers can be on the slow side when playing high tier commander decks so that 1 mana can really matter. This also means most high cost slivers other then lords are tough to run. Intruder alarm is aamzing in slivers as well. I have played slivers for seven years but always combo focused. Having all 5 lords let's me beat people through power as well. Root sliver i don't recall being mentioned, uncounterable slivers are nice. Also since slivers do everything creature wise mostly. Dovescape is so much fun

[PawzBrownMTG]

Very cool tech love slivers. Keep up the great videos guys

[cameronday]

The defender sliver is super easy to get rid of. Just sac it to an ability. Still very effective draw. I plan to run it.
