Intro

This is just my take on a deck that can use Progenitus but the Progenitus-Natural Order combo kinda takes a backseat to the Sliver Aggro approach. This deck has proven to be extremely fun and I think with a bit of tweaking, it may prove to be decently competitive. Check this out.

Decklist

Land:

4x Savannah
4x Temple Garden
4x Windswept Heath
5x Forest
3x Plains

Creatures:

4x Plated Sliver
4x Virulent Sliver
4x Muscle Sliver
4x Sinew Sliver
4x Gemhide Sliver
4x Essence Sliver
1x Progenitus
1x Harmonic Sliver
1x Sliver Legion
1x Sliver Queen

Instant/Sorcery:

4x Natural Order
4x Eladamri's Call

Artifacts:

4x Aether Vial

Summary

I really don't think this deck needs much explaining. You basically play Slivers as aggressively as you can and Progenitus is just a bonus. Sometimes it can prove more beneficial to Natural Order in a Legion or the Queen if you've got an excess amount of Slivers or Mana. The Eladamri's Call serves as your toolbox to grab the Sliver you need at instant speed making Aether Vial all the more broken in this deck. Throw this together on Workstation and try it. I promise you it's really fun. Let me know what you think or give me some pointers if you have some suggestions.

Why in the name of god would you run Eladamri's Call in a sliver deck over Homing Sliver? I mean, seriously dude. WTF?

It may be because he's off color and because Eladamri's Call is cheaper. I usually never need to tutor for more than one sliver most of the time anyway.

It seems like you could easily put a little survival shell into your build. Less the calls and add a few survivals and a squee/genesis and bam, you got it.

I had thought about Survival but I think that it would slow the deck down more than it would benefit the strategy. All Survival would do in the long run is guarantee a sliver drop each turn, but it eats up two turns of mana setting up. I also don't run BoP and Llanowar Elves which is what SotF prefers. I think that going with Survival would ultimately mean ditching Natural Order and Progenitus altogether.

I definitely think Sliver Legion should be in here over Sliver Overlord or Sliver Queen.

Sliver Legion is definitely nice as a Natural Order target because if you have 3 or 4 slivers when he comes down, you'll pretty much win right then. There's the damned spot removal to watch out for though which is why I ran the 1x Progenitus in the first place. I thought about running a single Crystalline Sliver for tutoring. He's off color but if you have an Aether Vial set to 2, he would be a Sliver that Eladamri's call would want to nab. I'm just not sure if he's win more or not though.

Can this beat Herbal Poultice?
