Slivers
SLIVERS a wierd little race of creppy crawlies with no eyes, no legs, one arm, and two tails. They share a mental link that gives all of them the ability any other one has. AKA more slivers means more powerful individual slivers. They live in a hive which can only have one queen at a time. In my sliver deck i picked out the best slivers and made a deck that has shut down any other i have ever made.
*Winged sliver- 1/1 all slivers can fly [woosh!!]
*Muscle sliver- 1/1 all slivers get +1/+1 [wich makes himself a 2/2. at best normal slivers can be 5/5's and 6/6's]
*Victual Sliver- Slivers can be saced (if you pay 2) to gain 4 life. Because their queen is their mental core, they will sacrifce any number of themselves for the perpetuation of the hive.
*Acidic Sliver- tap 2, sac a sliver, deal 2 damge to a creature or player. (in case your pissed off at the one who killed that sliver
*Crystalline Sliver- All slivers cannot be the target of spells or abilities. This doesn't affect any of the "all slivers get..." effects because they don't target a specific one. This shuts down any hope of killing off the slivers by spells. (2nd most hated sliver by my opponents)
*Sliver Queen- Because she is the most valuable (both in currency and in play) you would think she might be weak. Instead she is 7 times the size of the winged sliver. Not only is she a moster that takes the abilites of her children and becomes frighteningly powerful, but she can "tap 2, put a 1/1 sliver into play" this means she makes drones, who have no individual abilities. Perfect for swarm attacks and sacing to gain life. Besides the fact that at her best she is an 11/11 flying token generator that cannot be the target of spells or abilities, there is another reason she is so hated....
Heartstone- all creature abilities requiring an activation cost of tapping are reduced by one and cannot be made 0. Victual, Acidic, and Sliver Queen now only need to tap one to do what they do. {so now tokens can be mad for half as cheap}
Ashnod's Altar- You can sac a creature to add 2 to your mana pool...
SO, now i can tap one, put a sliver in play, then sac it to put 2 mana into my mana pool. Then i can use those 2 to put 2 slivers into play.....
sac 2, 4 slivers
sac 4, 8 slivers
sac 8, 16
sac 16, 32
sac 32, 64 (sac 3 to make the number even)
sac 70, 140
sac 30, 200
sac 200, 400
.... and so on into eternity ALL ON ONE TURN! This instant win on one turn has made my slivers the most hated of all my decks (But i love 'em any way ^^) But the three cards i need are easy to spot once you've been killed by 2 million slivers, so you can see the combo coming.
Worship- because im too poor to get another sliver queen, i had to prepare for a defensive plan. If crystallin sliver is out, and worship is out, it is very hard to kill me. If i have a creature in play my life total cannot be reduced to 0.... which means--- I can't be killed until Worship is disenchanted or you can get rid of my crystalline sliver.... you can attack... but i can take tha damage.... you can burn me.... but it won't effect me.... you can't burn the creature.... so unless you can kill all creatures or my enchantment, you have to sit around and wait for my Sliver Queen!
