PostSubject: How to Beat Slivers   Thu Sep 18, 2008 12:43 am

I started this topic because as we all know, sliver decks are a plain in the arse to play against.. i was recently told of a card called "Extinxtion" that should theoretically completely destroy a slither deck.. i have enclosed an image of this card.




Extinction (Tempest)
Rarity : R
Color : B
Colors : Black
Casting Cost : 5
Card Type : Sorcery
Card Text : Destroy all creatures of any creature type of your choice.
"I once had an entire race killed just to listen to the rattling of their dried bones as I waded through them." -Volrath
Artist : Una Fricker


open for ALL new suggestions.. looking at buying a sliver deck of my own if need be, but i wish to think of more creative ways to beat it than to join sides with the slivers.

You could always create a changling deck.
And you could also but in some creatures that boost up all other creatures of a certain type, Imperious Perfect for example.

Then your creatures only get more powerful as your opponent play his/her slivers.
Plus with cards like Imperious Perfect you get a bonus that the slivers don't get.

i.e You win

My two cents xD



Creatures you control are Slivers in addition to their other creature types.



All Slivers have "At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature deals 1 damage to you."



As An-Zerrin Ruins comes into play, choose a creature type. Creatures of the chosen type don't untap during their controllers' untap steps

And then as the ultimate last resort:

PostSubject: someone elses anti sliver   Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:50 pm

i just found instructions for creating an anti-sliver deck that someone else has made... not so keen on the fact that it utilizes slivers, because i didnt wish to use them in my deck at all... but here it is



3 x Darksteel Colossus
1 x Darksteel Forge
4 x Darksteel Ingot
2 x Hivestone
4 x Metallic Sliver
4 x Slaughter Pact

____________________________
Artifact= 18


3x Winged Sliver
____________________________
blue creature = 3


3 x Vorosh, the Hunter
____________________________
gold creature= 3



3 x Endless Wurm
4 x Fangren Hunter
4 x Silklash Spider
___________________________
green creature= 11



3x Homing Sliver
___________________________
red creature=3


9x Forest
4 x Island
6 x Swamp
3 x Terramorphic Expanse
__________________________
land= 22




how do you all think it would go?

PostSubject: expensive   Wed Sep 24, 2008 11:46 pm

bah demonic tutors were expensive...
cost me about $35 after conversion, so it had better be worth it and some arse..

i also decided to invest in plagued sliver.. so that should be handy..


im also getting that bitch of a card that lil dragon uses called persecute..



Rarity : R
Casting Cost : 2BB
Card Type : Sorcery
Card Text : Choose a color. Target player reveals his or her hand and discards all cards of that color.
Of all the tyrannies on humane kind The worst is that which persecutes the mind." -John Dryden, "The Hind and the Panther

AnY more suggestions would be welcomed..

EXtinction arrived today Twisted Evil


Demonic tutor should be here tomorrow Twisted Evil


but the point of this post was to fins out what you all think of this card to use in the antisliver deck..



Rarity : R
Casting Cost : 3 BBBB
Card Type : Legendary Creature — Minion
Card Text : When Phage the Untouchable comes into play, if you didn’t play it from your hand, you lose the game. whenever phage deals combat damage to a creature, destory that creature,it cant be regenerated. when ever phage deals combat damage to a player, that player looses the game.
Pwr/Tgh : 4/4
Artist : Ron Spears


do you think it would be worth investing in some?

Definatly and get some whisper silk cloaks while your at it.

It will make Phage unblockable, plus she won't be able to be targeted by spells or abilities.
So she won't be blocked and people won't beable to destroy/remove her.

Alright heres a card for you....

Name: Scourglass
Set & Rarity: Shards of Alara rare
Cost: 3WW
Card Type: Artifact
P/T:
Rules Text (Oracle): , Sacrifice Scourglass: Destroy all permanents except for artifacts and lands. Play this ability only during your upkeep.
Flavor Text
(Shards of Alara): "Soon I will sleep, eyes closing to a world tarnished with flesh, and then wake to a polished vision." —Sharuum


So if you have a deck that can bring things back from the grave... you can scourglass and get your creatures back!

Yes I know that it is white.... But there are ways around that.
Like witha few more shards cards that are artifacts.

Wow, that card saying "IF you play this from your hand, you lose the game" is pointless........
Unless I get a card that automaticaly puts any card into play.....then you would LOOSE the game Razz

Okay so have lots of good cards now/coming.

But how fast is it going to be?
Because sliver decks are really fast thats one of the most annoying things about them.

So you are going to need some one drop (one mana) or two drop (two mana) creastures.
