How to Beat Slivers

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

this is the newest card to the anti sliver deck...



Demonic Tutor (Revised FBB)
Rarity : Uncommon
Colors : Black
Casting Cost : 2
Card Type : Sorcery
Card Text : Search your library for one card and take it into your hand. Reshuffle your library afterwards.


im looking to buy about 4 of them, along with the four extinction cards that i have comming in the post, im debating what color i want to put them in though, straight black??

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:

Halfstone and Plague sliver may be worth me investigating.. thankyou

umm as for dammnation.. if i make the anti sliver deck a white/black i have wrath of god so that sloves that problem..

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?

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
Artist : D. Alexander Gregory

AnY more suggestions would be welcomed..

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

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.

if you dont play this card from your hand... keyword DONT...

No, im saying if you had the card and I have a card that automaticaly plays any card from any hand, i could make it so that it would summon that very card, therefore making you loose the game.

that being so, if its in my hand and you summon it, its still being played from my hand, so no i wouldnt.

Im confused?!?!?!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i get it now

and looking over all the evidence it is quite clear that kely is right because it strictly states FROME HIS?HER HAND and if someone where to summon phage from an opponent it would have to be within the opponents hand unless the card in question states from oponents deck but why would they make such a card lol

You are all making it sound SO much more complicated than what it is:

1. When Phage the Untouchable comes into play, if you DIDN'T play it from your hand you lose the game.

So CS is right if he forced it into play from your hand without you actually playing it, you would lose the game.
Thankfully this is impossible so we can safely ignore this.

However if it was discarded/destroyed and he forced Phage into play under your control from the graveyard you would also lose the game.

And if he forced it into play under his control from your graveyard he would lose the game, as activated and static abilities apply to the controller.

i.e YOU = CONTROLLER.

I hope this has cleared it all up.

Wow..............
WIll you always do this when I ask a question? I could say something that has no possible solution and watch you try and solve it But that clears things up.........Too bad I cant use that card against her.......

Well I don't think a question can exist without a solution.

Unless it is a statement POSING as a question.

Then the question would become "What is the satement hidden in this question an why is is it crossdressing like a question"?

Which in itself is a question thereby creating MORE (MOAR) questions making your question obsolete in comparison with the other questions.

Or it could be some kind of mutant hybrid QUESTIONSATEMENT. Which I believe only the spanish have the power to create (According to the sentence I placed in wikipedia, and since it's on wikipedia it must be right)

Which would then prove you to be in someway part spanish, whether that is from decent or aliens abducted you and replaced your blood with that of a spanish man is another question (or statement) entirely.

I hope that this helped.

EDIT**

You could use the card against her as long as you had a way of bringing it from another location other than her hand into play under Phages owners control

My head just exploded.
But it wasn't from your logic Jason, it was from a Spanish super alien virus that makes peoples head explode and never resolve anything they say........or do they?
