A fairly straightforward Countersliver build like this would be a good place to start:
//Creatures (20)
4 Crystalline Sliver
4 Predatory Sliver
4 Sinew Sliver
4 Galerider Sliver
2 Muscle...
Right.
What are we arguing about, again? It seems like we agree.
Oh, I'm not saying Kibler is right - I'm not sure how you gathered that from my post. I honestly didn't even read his article. I just don't care one way or the other if people want to refer to a deck...
Ironically, every time I saw "BUG Delver" in this thread I was confused; it wasn't until someone mentioned that it's another name for Team America that I understood what they were talking about.
...
Wow. This list is....super standard. I mean, the obvious inclusion of Galerider over Winged and the addition of Predatory Sliver aside, it's pretty much cut-and-paste what I used to play back in the...
It pretty much just means that you could start running 4 of them more safely because a 1/1 flyer for U is a lot better than for 1U. Countersliver lists typically run only 3 Winged Sliver because the...
Yep. The viability of a Sliver deck in any format really depends on having a way to protect them from targeted removal because you need a critical mass of dudes in order for your guys to be...
My thoughts:
Phantasmal Image
It's a neat idea, but as others have already mentioned it would really only ever copy either Muscle or Sinew Sliver because Shroud and Flying don't stack. That might...
True facts. I suspect, though, that the art is to differentiate between "you control" slivers and the old ones.
I don't mind "you control" that much, but I do hate these huge overcosted...
Good, mostly. Same old, same old.
Also I just assumed these were global like all of the others. The fact that they're not is very interesting. It actually makes Sentinel Sliver quite valuable in...
I logged in specifically to find this thread after I saw them spoiled. I have strong opinions when it comes to Slivers.
Sentinel Sliver might be playable.
The rest of them are either trash, or...
Oops, I didn't read past the cumulative upkeep part because I figured that was the only part that was relevant. Well, that'll teach me.
Crumbling Sanctuary seems like it could be interesting here. It buys you a ton of time and makes it so attacking you feeds your win condition. That said, it seems like it would be most effective at...
Indeed. But a lot of cycles back then were awfully imbalanced. Compare Healing Salve to Ancestral Recall, for example. White always seems to get the worst ones.
edit - More on topic, do people...
It already was a cycle:
Force of Will
Bounty of the Hunt
Pyrokinesis
Contagion
...come to think of it, I'm not sure there was a white one. I can't think of one, anyway.
This is making it into my UBW EDH deck, but outside of that I can't see it being very useful.
Loam seems really really slow, and doesn't really do anything for the deck's gameplan other than recur Wasteland. It does make Knight and Terravore bigger, but they get planty big enough without it...
Based on the idea of having lots of small cheap creatures and free/cheap pump, I looked at 9-land stompy for inspiration. Because most of the infect guys are 2 mana and you have to go into two colors...
Actually, after further playtesting I've found that the Kiki-Jiki/Pestermite combo is incredibly fragile. It gets completely hosed by anything that can remove either half at instant speed (read: just...
It means you have to pay whatever it's converted mana cost is minus up to 2 colorless mana.
Note that it only reduces colorless mana. So if the creature you put into play costed 1RR, then you...
I'm actually in the middle of refining my own Intet list (which I will probably post here when I'm not at work and have more time), and one of my favorite things that I notice is absent from your...
As far as I can tell, the only cards that got the new art were Jace and Chandra themselves: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/481
No. The creature has to have been continuously in play since the beginning of your most recent turn. If it wasn't in play (and under your control) when you untapped, you can't attack with it (unless...
I think the new art looks fine, but I honestly prefer my old BB Ice Age StP. Maybe it's just that I've been playing with them for so long.
