Same creature types: Distant Melody comes to mind. Shadow Sliver might be nice, too.

Except in 8 (or 6 or whatever)-land Balustrade Spy. And even then there are 3 better 1 or 0-mana land fetchers.

That safewright quest card is going in my next iteration of design mistakes. It’s like a counterable terramorphic expanse. The times when it could be better than an expanse are so minimal, that the card just should never see play.

The thing about Virulent Sliver and Metallic Sliver is that they are a turn 1 sliver. Now that you have 12 2-drop lords it seems that much more important to have a 1-drop critter. Also, because you have no 3 drops, 1-drops are great to play along side one of your 2-drops on turn 3. Even without abilities I’m pretty sure you want to play the 1-drop slivers.

the problem with reins is the cost…. a four cost spell in a deck that is 90% 2 drops and lower is overcosted for the curve

Also, Reins of the Vinesteed in any tribal deck is simply a much better version of Rancor, which is already a good card.

@Greystone
Same here. I was looking for changelings in these decks, too.
Changeling Sentinel for defense
Avian Changeling or Game-Trail Changeling for offense
Even the simple Woodland Changeling is Bears Plus.
If you’re doing the red splash, you could try Fire-Belly Changeling or War-Spike Changeling, too.

I’m trying to build a Sliver Commander deck, myself, and I’m going to fill some holes with Changelings. My main issue is trying to figure out whether to use Sliver Queen (create), Sliver Overlord (search), or Sliver Legion (pump) as the Commander. (They are all going in, of course, and I’m leaning towards the Legion as Commander.)
