[Glen]

Hmmm thanks guys ill check into all the cards you have suggested, i have been playing my friends a lot and he is a black & white deck with a lot of nasty spells, and i also play a 4 or 6 player with my mates, a lot of them have fast attack kind of decks, i.e. get there creatures out FAST and attack FAST, so im working on trying to counter this startegy, also i do have access to older cards from websites.

Thanks

Glen,

Okay, in that case, you are probably looking at a control deck with some fast creatures and/or walls so you can bring out the slivers. Put some anti-critter counters (e.g. Remove Soul, Blue Elemental Blast) in your sideboard.

You can screw Black up by having Karma and Absolute Grace out.

[Glen]

ok ill check um out

Karma may not be legal for type II decks, but Absolute Grace should still be.

If he's building a casual deck, why should he care what is Type 2 or Type 1 legal?

[SnowFire]

Besides, even if he did, Karma will be in 8th edition, and will hence by Type II legal pretty soon.

[Urban Ranger]

Oh, okay. I didn't know they rotate it back in.

Hmmm your right dinodoc, What is type I/II mean... dont have to explain cos i only play friends (how dont even fully know the rules yet)

Thanks for all the help guys, im having a 6 player with my friends this weekend... i think ill be in a betta possition than before!

I didnt even know Apolyton dealt with things other than Civ/CTP!

[Urban Ranger]

Of course we do, we are diehard gamers

Which deck are you refering to?

No deck dinodoc, just a response to snowfire's statement.

Most of the 5 mana slivers cost too much in comparison with the 2 mana tempest slivers.

They even have a ranting forum...

Creature Spells:

x4 Blade Sliver
x4 Plated Sliver
x4 Shifting Sliver
x4 Winged Sliver
x4 Essence Sliver
x4 Synapse Sliver
x4 Muscle Sliver
x2 Horned Sliver
x2 Heart Sliver
x2 Sliver Overlord

Non - Creature Spells:

x4 Tribal Unity
x2 Explosive Vegetation

Land:

x5 Forest
x5 Island
x5 Swamp
x4 Mountain
x4 Plains
x2 City of Brass

I have 2 questions regarding this deck.

1) Is there anything that you people would do to improve it? The deck is 65 cards so I need to cut something.

2) If I added Artificial Evolution could I have more than one Overlord in play?

Dinodoc:

I'm posting from a tiny library in Northern BC, so I can't check out the cards from here.

How does this weekend sound, when I get back home from work?

[DinoDoc]

That's fine.

[Urban Ranger]

I am against playing a 5-colour deck because you are screwed if the other side has any sort of colour hosers out. Try to bring out the Silver Overlords with some other mechanism (Gemstone Mine, Lotus Petal, Lotus Vale, Lotus Guardian, Bird of Paradise, Dragon Arch, etc.). Also, your deck is very slow with Shifting, Essence, and Synapse Slivers.

Try to mould your deck into doing something specific. You are now trying to do too many things at once.
