As an avid sliver player, I rejoiced at the sight of this upload.
For the Swarm!
6:42 Haven't seen Spellskite's face so clearly before, looks funny.
Me at the start of the video: "This looks pretty neat. Might be fun to play some time."
Me at the end of the video: "Oh right, its Modern. Back to Pauper I go!"
Seriously, Magic is just too damn expensive for anything other than kitchen table magic with your friends.
Luckily, there's Pauper Slivers too.
Can we see it next? : ]
Haven't we already seen it?
Do you think we could get some videos on the EDH format? it's my favorite.
Tolarian Community College The Professor replied to me! I'm honored. You just made my day :)
I love your modern deck tecks 😁 you are the reason I found and eventually assembled Living End. Keep up the amazing work Professor!
I've really enjoyed your videos recently! So much fun to watch. My one hope would be for a commander/EDH centric video as we haven't seen one of those recently. I love all formats but EDH has been striking a cord with me recently as I am at college and it is a fun and casual format full of potential for stories that are told in by my friend group for weeks. Keep it up Prof!
Professor you have inspired me to build and help build a lot of decks in a lot of formats and I don't regret it
I have never been more excited for a video put out by the professor, thank you so much!
Awesome video. I've always had a soft spot for slivers, so it's fun to see them make an appearance somewhere other than the kitchen table. Tezzerator is my current favorite modern deck, with Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek alongside Ensnaring Bridge. It would be neat to see your take on the archetype.
Your deck guides are so solid. I actually made both my modern decks based on your budget guides and now I pretty much am one of the best players at my shop. G/W elves and Naya burn are what I run now and there are not many decks that scare me, my elves are pretty weak to nahiri jeskai control (supreme verdict) but thats what my naya is for. Anything one can't do the other one does, I actually placed pretty high in the last local modern tourney I played in.
The price of this deck at the end of the video is why i hate magic sometimes..
Introduction btw
Yes, but it was mainly a few 200 dollar cards bringing it to that cost
Love this deck, I built it back when I seen Bowman playing git in that SCG tournament. Great fun to play
I'm all about Slivers! Thanks for the tips!
"Sliver bullets." I laughed out loud. Well done on the video, Professor!
I'd love something like a "budget" list, if possible. The deck looks amacing, and I love slivers, because my first mtg deck was a slivers one.
You should do a deck tech of Esper Control. It's an interesting variant I've been seeing a lot more of lately. Using a plethora of control spells to keep your opponent from doing much of anything, then finishing them off with either Celestial Colonnade or Secure the Wastes
Josh McFarland esper delver is cheep and Nice
Spell queller op
I agree its pretty underrated and gets heavily overshadowed by nahiri jeskai as a control deck.
I like White SUn's Zenith even more than STW, bc while it may be a bit more of a lategame card (but that's just true for the whole deck), it comes back. And that can be really important.
I played esper control. It is a decent deck, but it has its flaws. Mostly TRON, which is basically an auto loss.
Somewhere TheManaSource is having an aneurysm...
ibs attack
Major Largo More like cardiac arrest
I've tried several variants of slivs and this deck does tend to work well in most match ups.
Yay modern Slivers!!! :D Thank you professor!!! Since I started watching you, I was hoping for this video :D
Slivers are so rad. These guys make up the first deck I ever owned.
One day I will make a decent Sliver deck. c:
Mine too! I really love them
I hope they come back in the main story, one day.
My favorite tribe!!! I love Slivers since I had 12years old, oddly I don't have a sliver deck...yet
Man Modern is expensive.
Adam Fox You can build fairly cheaply for modern if you play mono-color, as land bases are the most expensive aspect of modern.
Yeah, any format you can build it cheaply. I'm assuming mono color decks are the cheapest?
Philigan87 Modern burn?
Adam Fox it's actually the least expensive competitive format, because decks don't rotate and hold their value very well. It just has a higher initial investment. Even in Standard though, good decks usually cost a couple hundred at least.
I built my entire sliver deck for 40 bucks
I'm actually looking into a few of the Kaladesh cards to add into the Bowman sliver deck to make it even better. I think there is tons of potential in this newest set.
I would love to see a deck tech with Sharding Sphinx and Grand Architect, the Synergism of those two cards is quite well.
Love it Prof! Tribal decks are the best!
Got this deck for a while now and it's a really good and fun deck ^^
Sweet deck! As a longtime player who has enjoyed slivers since Tempest, I hope slivers stay in the meta.
Yay another deck I cannot afford :( but love the deck tech and the music in the background !
I do not play modern but I do own a subpar sliver deck. Thoughts on ancient ziggurat over carvern for a cheaper version???? I know not the same but more or less just as effective (for creatures)
Hey, Professor, you should do a deck tech on modern allies. It's pretty similar to this but with a really slashed cost that I've had a lot of luck with at FNM. I run a Selesnya brew with hardened scales, Collected company.
Just what I needed to redo my sliver deck
Can you do an instructional video on how to do deck techs? I love listening to them, but so many people have no idea how to do them - going into insane detail on cards like swords to plowshare - things we should all know (or can easily look up.)
I could listen to your deck techs all day - and I'll listen to them for formats I don't even play.
Please.
Professor! I'd love to see a Red/white Norin Sisters deck tech!
What would you recommend to replace the 4 aether vials because they are currently going for $36?
u/b faeries tech please! i've seen the bitterblossom art framed on your wall, prof!
I just started cardfight vanguard and i picked up a starter deck. OMG the starter decks are so fun. if the prof could plz do a review. plz, these decks are what intro packs always wated to be.
Even though this deck has quite a high price tag, it seems like it could be a lot of fun! Thanks for the great video.
what's your take on modern hardened scales/winding constrictor plus things like mana gorger hydra, hangerback, walking ballista, endless one, verderous gearhulk act...
Me: Oh boy, let's see how this 1000$ Sliver deck does at FNM modern!
Opponent: Okay, Gemstone Cavern out of opening hand, Plains, Simian Spirit Guide, Blood Moon turn one.
Veikko Elo that shitstained card needs a ban
Per Kristian Antonsen Something needs to keep 4c controls and Bant Eldrazi in check, though. Might as well be that one, since Back to Basics could be a little too good.
You auto-lose to Blood Moon.
Jaime Lannister That... was the point.
Veikko Elo who runs gem stone cavern in modern
So legit question. I own the premium deck series sliver deck, is that one still usable today? I checked Wizards of the coast and slivers aren't on any sort of ban list at all.
Blue white control (pleeeease if you do this include sphinx's revelation as a 2 of)
Professor, do you like the humanoid-slivers in M14 & M15? I think it was unnecessary give them humanoid form, it seems a bit odd.
What about UB/UBx faeries? While not a top tier deck, what little experience I have with it gave me a good impression. Im wondering if there is anything that has been released since its inception that could give it an edge? I run a kitchen table BUG faeries build that has better than average results.
Professor,
I would very much enjoy a video on Grixis Delver.
thanks
I'd love to see a modern Caw Blade deck.I know the deck isnt near as powerful with jace and stone forge banned, but I'd like to see one for budget and non-budget options.
what card is the first art at the start of the video?
Minor mistake in the video: If Sinew Sliver costs 8 bucks each, then a playset will be 32 dollars. Or they cost 2 bucks each, then it makes sense they are 8 dollars total for the playset. Sweet deck btw :)
With the new Unclaimed Territory card, would you replace any lands for that? or just leave the land base as it stands?
Hey, Professor! What's your opinion on Naya Humans? I'd like to maybe see a deck tech on that.
I've always been interested in Legacy Shardless BUG/Sultai/whatever. Any chance you could do a deck tech for that?
Would you consider doing an updated version of Merfolk? Maybe even with splashed white?
I'd love to see your take on a Orzhov Extort/Control deck.
Hi prof, legacy eldrazi would be sweet!
Yes!
***** But modern is an awful format right now...
The Mask of Truth u no opline sliver
I NEED a standard storm deck tech Prof. PLEASE!
There's no storm cards in standard.
Aetherflux Reservoir can combo out with bone saw and cathar's shield to gain a bunch of life and bolt the opponent for 50.
@ Granticus3000 Check out the Cheerios deck tech that SBMTG did a week or two ago. It's literally exactly what you just asked for.
It isn't storm though '-' . Sounds pretty cool btw, I would like to see the professor talk about it also.
Gabriel Hoelzle There actually is one now!
0-Drop equipment (Bone Saw and Cathars Shield) and Aetherflux reservoir. :-)
Will you please do a deck tech for Mimeoplasm Edh combo? I have soooo many combos in mine that it's become a little inconsistent I usually win off mimeoplasm fused with Some stuff in opponents grave. Or laboratory maniac.
I'm already playing Merfolk, so I have the AEther Vials and 2 Caverns. I've even got most of these Slivers just lying around in my collection! I kind of want to go out on a limb and build this, too... I'd better practice it on Cockatrice first. I'll try not to 100% netdeck it and adjust my card choices to my local meta, but how about that mana base - What 3 fetches should I run instead of Verdant Catacombs, of which I have none? I'm guessing he went Verdant because Swamps and Forests are the most important, so I could use some combination of Wooded Foothills, Polluted Delta and Windswept Heath.
I have basically the same version of this deck with a few different sideboard options, and it only cost me about 550 euro, wich is about 600 dollar.
I love the decks you're showing though!
U/B Faeries or Esper Draw-Go please, professor!
Crystalline Sliver is best sliver.
If only it was Modern legal. Heart Sliver and Muscle Sliver would also be nice.
yep, i have a blue/white sliver deck for casual play thats nasty
I'd really like to see a W/B Eldrazi Taxes Tech next!
I personally would love to see you do a video on modern infect
Hey professor, you could do Esper Control, Grixis Control or perhaps Jeskai tempo.?
Hey professor, when do you intend to start doing more pauper deck techs and such?
4:40 $8.00 Each 4x = $8.00? O:
Prof replied to someone else that it was a typo. They're closer to $2.00 per.
M00tzart Oh. Still now way I could afford this deck. xD
sell your kidney, then u can
moutazmizo87 True.. Eh idk I kinda wanna keep them both.
Underscore_ drink more water+play magic or drink alcohol and no magic.see...magic is good for your health!
4:40 8*4=8? Also, Sedge Sliver is 2 EUR in europe. Love it!
not sure if its a thing in modern but it sure as hell is in edh.
superfriends decks! be it child of alara 5 color walkers or my good ol jund walkers deck. they are nothing to ignore.
dear Professor,
what slivers from modern horizons would be a good edition to this sliver deck.
does this deck have a gameplan against dredge other than sideboarding in regular graveyard hate?
I would love to see you do a deck tech for modern Cheeri0s
Could you maybe show a budget modern slivers build? Otherwise great video prof
good use of the Wilhelm scream
Is there any possibility for a video on a budget friendly sliver deck? Also, this video was great.
Do you think the new fetch lands are going to go up in price? Should I snag then now?
Awesome video and deck idea...but when did Verdant Catacombs drop down to $66? :o
Hi professor, hope you had a nice summer. I think you missed labelled the price of sinew sliver, 8 X 4 = 8?
Also, I was wondering what's been happening with the Friday streams? Just curios as to why you haven't been around.
Either Lantern Control or just regular modern mill would be great deck techs.
This makes me really want to play Slivers! Though I might fool around with a different list. $900 is super steep
The land is like 90% of the cost
A bonescythe sliver with double strike for 4 mana is not good enough?
Modern Deck Tech Request:
Esper Battle of Wits Control!
Can you do a dech tech video for R/G Through the breach? Please
I'd like to see a deck tech on Cruel Control. There's got to be a way to make that deck work again.
I would like to see a standard Thopter/ artifacts deck tech.
Great job
When are we going to get advanced courses getting accepted into the Pro Tour ?
I seriously don't understand the system.
i was thinking about monoblue or izzet delver until you mentioned, that Contraband Kingpin might see modern play. So - Dimir Thopter Sword, please :)
how bout a u/w modern primer??
I'll be keen to see a deck tech of Esper gifts please.
Could you do a Deck Tech on Blue-Red Storm in Modern?
Interesting deck tech
To be honest, if i had $1000 to build a Modern deck with, i wouldn't build Slivers.
Luca Scanu slivers are the best
I would like to see you to do a white and black rebel commander deck teck. or a good commander for it. I just need some help.
I would really like to see a deck tech of howling mine :)
what is a sorcery speed ''raft''?
Could this deck reduced to 2 or 3 color without losing it power ("budget" option) ?
In Modern, you can get a budget version of the deck just by relaying on fetchlands with 2 or 3 colors, while still being able to abuse the rest of slivers with Sliver Hive and Cavern of Souls. At this point, the most expensive land is Cavern of Souls and you can use Ancient Ziggurat as a good replacement.
The main problem with this is that you´ll see some hands with Ancient Ziggurat plus Aether Vial and Colected Company, and you won´t be able to cast them. Considering that both cards are expensive for a budget version, you can just play the deck without non-creature spells and add more slivers to the mix. You can even maindeck some Homing Slivers to fetch the Sliver you need depending of your situation, and add more Manaweft or Gemhide Slivers to fix your mana resources.
As a regular player of the deck, I started with the "budget" version of the deck and I achieved some tops at my local store tournaments, just by playing the deck with 5 colors and a Naya manabase to have access to Lead the Stampede, Lightning Bolt and Return to the Ranks. In all my matches I felt just like manabase wasn´t a problem because I had a very high probs of having at least 1 mana generator sliver in hand. After Manaweft or Gemhide enter the battlefield, you don´t have to worry about colors anymore.
it would be cool to see a modern deck based on quest for ulas temple
hey Professor... i love that Sinew Sliver math :) $8 each x 4 = $8
:D
Sweet deck tech
could you do one that does not need pricey lands?
I suggest a B/W Token deck for modern. Its cheap with a cost of 500€, has one of the best card synergys and with its color provide some of the best sideboard cards in the format.
What about clue deck? I've been trying to make one that can maybe win some tournaments and I feel like it has potential. Not regional championship material mind you.
Pardon the resurrection, but is there a chance to revisit this decktech with some of the nonsense out of valheim? The changling cards might add some amazing synergies with this.
I'm a long fan of slivers, but didn't have the money to spend during my peak magic period. I'm now a casual collector with a fair income and seeing this video has got me digging through my collection to possibly build and compete locally.
