Subject: Ultimate Slivers/All Tempest/Overun(?) Deck Date: Tue, 2 Dec 1997 00:29:12 -0600 From: "Boyd Stephen Smith, Jr." Newsgroups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic,rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy I want lots of posts on this one. I wish to make the All Tempest/Sliver Hive Deck a reality. Right now, I think it will actually work pretty good. It's 2 cards heavy (62 cards) but, that was in land and the Slivers deck gets mighty mana intensive. It's made to get as many Slivers out as quick as possible, inflict damage fast and literally ignore the other player while you beat on him/her. Here's how the deck looks now. Slivers: 4x Armor 4x Barbed 4x Clot 4x Heart 4x Horned 4x Metallic 4x Muscle 4x Talon 4x Winged Land: Caldera Lake Cinder Marsh Mogg Hollows Pine Barrens Reflecting Pool Rootwater Depths Salt Flats Scablands Skyshroud Forest Vec Townships Thalakos Lowlands 3x Forest 3x Swamp 3x Plains 3x Mountain 3x Island I left out the two "card" Slivers (Mnemonic and Mindwhip). I didn't think they had enough "Purpose" in this deck and that it would make it too big. Another thing I was very worried about, given this is a Rainbow deck, it mana screw on a by color basis. The Metallic Slivers dodge around that and I think I made up for it by adding in some (all?) of the multi faceted lands in the Tempest set. Never played this deck, it just hit me that it might (?) kick some ass. Now that I look at it, I keep thinking I might want to fool around with the land some more... maybe +3 Pools and -1 each Basic lands. I don't know. I'd like to see some thought put into this discussion. Not just about how you'd modify this deck but also, how you'd sideboard in against a deck similar to this one.
