I'm a little late here but I can't thank you enough for how detailed these upgrade videos are, including this one! I admire all the hard work you put into them and they are super addicting to watch! Keep up the great work!

I don’t comment often but man your builds have been incredible, my Eowyn deck has been feared by my friends and I thank you for it 🙏 keep it up, you are awesome

Two further upgrades I highly recommend: Intruder Alarm: It's easy to give your slivers haste and to have them tap for mana. This allows you to generate enough mana to cast as many slivers from your hand as you like. Mana Echoes: Similar to Intruder Alarm, this allows you to pay the non-coloured costs with ease - including encore from the Gravemother.

I love your builds. I just completed this one and will play it this week in my play group. I have 3 of your other builds in my collection and they do very well. Thank you and congrats on nearly 20k subscribers!

Awesome videos and upgrade guide excellent stuff! Really enjoy the lore part brings back memories of old when slivers and were first introduced back in tempest.

as usual nice work with the upgrade should inform of the most important part about Thorncaster sliver was not mentioned the game will practically just end if you have venom sliver in play because it gives deathtouch and with thorncaster you can simply just shoot every single non indestructible/non hexproof or shroud creature to kill them and ofcoarse particually win con upgrade....this is like thee most dangerous upgrades in the deck you can possibly do but they work so well with gemhide and manaswept sliver..... and thats armagedden, Ruination, or/and Catastrophe. simply put if your brave enough to do this land wrath just ends games with the slivers

Fantastic video as always, I already upgraded 2 decks taking advice from your videos and they been an absolutely joy to pilot. Keep up the amazing content!

Dont forget the combo elements of the deck: basal sliver/ashnod’s altar, and dormant sliver allow you to draw and play alot of stuff through the loot sliver or mindlash sliver. Blasp act and insta kill if you encore the damage sliver. Running things like jarad’s orders and buried alive can rly give you an explosive late game.

Very nice deck tech! Glad your back making videos Grazzet!

100 Likes reached! Thank you once again for this MTG content! Was fun wo watch!

Welcome back! Great work as always! I know there's far too many new commanders being printed to realistically keep up, but have you thought of adding an older commander you may have missed in your polls? Probably not realistic, but I enjoy your builds/philosophy and I will always be interested in seeing more neat deck ideas.

An excellent build. Well done!

Great video. Can't wait for the Eldrazi deck

Hey grazzet hope you’re doing well and great to see you back!

Great video as always. Keep up the great work.

Glad to see you back!

Always great content! Thanks Grazzy

Thank you for this ! 🤩😄

Theres always someone with an opinion that differs from said video but i must say this build is REAAAALLY GOOD! My ONLY thought where it could be inproved is for ONE creature..... Magma Sliver. Ive said my piece.

Amazing video as always!

All hail the mighty Sliver build! This one is big time brutal

Brood Sliver (Sliver token on combat damage to player) is such a lovely combo with Bonescythe Sliver (double strike) and any of the power boosting Slivers.

love your take on the sliver precon and will consider a lot of things when building up my upgraded deck! though i will keep in descendants fury since not only can you sac the encored tokens but you could sac a sliver you want to encore because of a stacking effect it has a lot of synergy in the deck in my opinion :)

7 sorcery not 8 omg i was looking for so long to find what i was missing rewatched twice lol but great build and keep up the good work

Great video

Your Decks builds are amazing, i would Love to See a god tribal Budget Deck 👀 OK, god Decks are never cheap but maybe cheaper as 300$ at all :D

I would cut Herald's Horn too. It's mana reduction doesn't work with encore or replicate. There are a ton of better options. One card i want to try is Teferi's Veil, which is 0.99 cents and lets you phase oit all your encore tokens to keep forever. It also can protect your attackers from sorcery speed mass removal. Only downside is the slivers left on the board will lose stat bonuses of the phased out slivers.

Are you going to do a Rakuramel deck? If you do, I’d look into putting hive stone in it’s cheap and it puts less pressure on to choose sliver as raku’s type cause it makes everything a sliver

great video! good cuts and nice upgrade option too. i await the planeswalker upgrade :)

I can’t wait to see the colorless one and maybe after these are done maybe you can show us one of your personal decks your favorite one

so a budget card that works well with the encore ability is legion loyalty so you get 6 tokens on average instead of 3 also like the descendants' fury sacking one of the six tokens

One interesting artifact im adding is rings of brighthearth to cheat out some encores while still keeping them in the graveyard

This is a big help ❤❤❤😊

Yes!

As cool as Gravemother is, I actually think Hivelord is the best commander for this build. As a Sliver player, you are going to be targeted, and the one thing that Slivers are really weak to is creature removal, so having a commander that makes all of your Slivers indestructible I think is better than a commander who does a one-time recursion, as powerful as that may be. I think people just forget Hivelord is legendary sometimes because he's not one of the two foil commanders, but he is the best commander for Slivers in the precon.

Grazzet has the smoothest commentating voice I’ve ever heard. Pair that with the incredibly detailed videos and you have the best DeckTech RU-vid channel of all time

Great Video I have reflections of littjara and i feel it should be in the deck, doesn't it? Maybe instead of tribute to the world tree?

oofa doofa, Slivers are gonna be a common sight for a while methinks another excellent video of upgrade and lore insights sera!

Ayy you are back

I think you missed the mark on Descendant's Fury. Consider how well it synergizes with Gravemother.. you attack and a sliver(with an ability that stacks well) hits face, then you sac it, get a filler, the next turn your encore the original, and now have 3+ of it, hit face again, and you can sac one of the tokens for a free creature or sac another sliver that you specifically want to have a bunch of the next turn. You keep comboing without losing numbers.

Heyyy, u back

can someone explain to me why the colors of tri-lands that were kept or removed, were chosen to be kept or removed?

For the Hive!

No cavern of souls? No mana crypt? Is there a more competitive version of this upgrade?

Descendants' Path should have been an enchantment, its a 3 drop and lets you play slivers for free.

Hoping for the Eldrazi deck

Slivers stupidly op

This is the slivers deck WotC SHOULD have made.

I was really hoping there would be a wubrg uncommon legendary sliver in this deck so i can make a pauper slivers deck

Which is better elven chorus or cryptif rite

PLZZZZZ!!! DO COMMODORE GUFF!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 Edit: ok now i saw the video 'till the end sorry 😅 love your decks! ❤

Usually i Love your Upgrades but this one doesnt utilize the Commander. Cards Like for Example Sundial of the Infinite can do crazy Things with your Deck....building a massive Board forcing your Opponent to Wipe the Board ,then Casting the Gravemother,Encoring a Lot of Slivers and let Them Stay with Sundial

lucky, first one to like the vid!

Do the colorless deck next

i have PTSD (Post Dramatic sliver disorder) , cant wait to relive it again lmao

Just one card that is completely good that you forgot as a big draw engine in the deck : Kindred Discovery. On the encore, on attack is kinda gross when you think about it Also big fan of Patriach Bidding in case you get board wiped and can get your commander on the field

Good grief!!! This looks an absolutely horrifying deck to play against!

I paid £90 which isn't bad

The best way to upgrade this deck is to throw away all the new slivers and about 20 other crap cards. The Precon is a piece of garbage.

thanks for the upgrade but maybe , if i can, speak a little fatser and you don´t have to articullate so much
