    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    You might want more blue to fully enable FoW. I've heard 14 non-FoW cards is pretty much a bare minimum. I might have missed something but I count 10.

    I highly recommend NOT running singletons...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    I take issue with the word should. No one says all tribes have to be competitive. Where's my tier 1 goat deck? I agree it would be awesome if my first competitive Legacy deck were once again...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    1. Neat, but doesn't help with the two fundamental problems facing slivers. Yardhate has never been a problem in this deck.
    2. So with a taxing sliver and two muscles, everything else costs 3 more...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Meaning more than not scary at all? This deck is currently not competitive in the meta. Merfolk is the better Lord tribal deck, and even that is not tier 1.

    The problem with Slivers is twofold. ...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    I'd take out Chalice instead. I don't think you're running it (Chalice) in a shell that can really leverage it. If you want to have control deck elements, go all out like Merfolk does with a full...

    If you read my posts on countersliver threads I've said the same time and time again ... except I generally think the creature are worse too. I mean, that's a nice Muscle Sliver you got there but my...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Not exactly sure what your point is. The most common uses of SFM are probably Stoneblade/Deathblade, with 10-16 creatures, and Death and Taxes, with 25+ creatures. It's also sometimes seen in...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    I'm a little skeptical of Recruiter here, to be honest. Sure it's card advantage, but netting a non-sliver 1/1 isn't really all that hot given that we can't recur it with Flickerwisp here. ...

    Brainstorm.

    I mean, my sig. What's better than fixing your mana, digging for relevant slivers, having more chances to get sideboard hate, and shuffling away dead cards with fetchlands? Merfolk...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Some lists ran a Scrubland in the pre-Mutavault days so that Scrubland+Trop could cast any Sliver on two lands. If Seas aren't an option, you could try Scrubland. It won't help Daze or cantrips,...

    I dunno, I think Terminus might still be a thing once the control players optimize topless builds, not to mention Toxic Deluge and the odd Engineered Explosives. If you absolutely can't get Black...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Good luck! I'm interested to hear how Darkheart performs compared to Syphon, and I'd personally go for a 7th fetch over the Mox to help optimize Brainstorm and Library, but it seems like a tight list.

    Delightfully old-school, without Sliver Hives or Chalices. I hope that success is repeatable!

    Flavor and reminiscence. Play Slivers because you like Slivers. They're not bad ... just worse than Merfolk.

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    The problem with a too-cheap activation cost is that you can start blowing up lands (even basics) for just 2 mana. But I'd be ok with blowing up non-land permanents for :2:. :cool:
