The Sliver DS/Haste anthem effect and generator that is central to winning for this deck\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Firdoch Core"}},{"insert":" - A mana rock that duals as a Sliver for TH affinity and potential 4/4 backdoor\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Adaptive Automaton"}},{"insert":" - Anthem P/T buff for your Slivers that also helps with the TH affinity \n\nWhite Core:\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Practiced Offense"}},{"insert":" - Crazy strong card for token strategies. Adding 1/1 to each creature and an option of DS or LL (almost always choose LL since TH gives your Slivers DS) is powerful. Tack on the flashback and you can quickly turn your board lethal or punishing\n\nColorless Support;\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fomori Vault"}},{"insert":" - Colorless land to help dig through the deck when card draw just isnt in your hand\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Soulstone Sanctuary"}},{"insert":" - Colorless land that can turn into a 3/3 creature for more Sliver power\n\nBlue Support:\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mm'menon, the Right Hand"}},{"insert":" - One of copy that lets you tap your artifacts to cast artifacts from the top of your library. Nifty way to get around hand attacks and provide next turn info. I do wonder if this guy should have more copies in the sideboard or main deck, seems powerful for this strategy\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Waxen Shapethief"}},{"insert":" - Relatively pricey 4 mana card with the rare usage for cycling. The goal of this is to provide a cheeky way to get around any removal against TH or your Firdoch Cores. It's also a win more card if youre not playing around artifact removal\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Three Steps Ahead"}},{"insert":" - Does this one need a description? One of the best utility cards for blue. Counter spell, draw, and artifact copy all bundled into one\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Consult the Star Charts"}},{"insert":" - Another top tier blue draw engine that helps you dig through the deck for what you need\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stock Up"}},{"insert":" - And another top tier blue draw engine that helps you dig through the deck for what you need\n\nWhite Support:\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Erode"}},{"insert":" - Cheap removal that you can save and time for the strongest effect. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Day of Judgment"}},{"insert":" - Were a slower midrange kind of deck, need this sweeper to help keep creature heavy decks from overrunning us\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Abandoned Air Temple"}},{"insert":" - One of copy for the times you dont have the cards in hand for an extra punch\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"No More Lies"}},{"insert":" - early game counter spell, not much to say here. This is one of the more cuttable cards, but I left it in for the good counter magic or mana tax it has. Sometimes taxing 3 mana gives you a win\n\nMana base:\nI opted for mostly all untapped lands to help keep tempo with faster decks since this deck is already a bit slow\n\nSideboard:\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Caretaker's Talent"}},{"insert":" - Solid enchantment for any token strategy. Added it in as an option against decks that have good creature removal, but poor enchantment removal\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Get Lost"}},{"insert":" - Basically extra erodes if you need more spot removal (or enchantment). Thats why they're in the sideboard. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghost Vacuum"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rest in Peace"}},{"insert":" - Graveyard hate for reanimator decks.

Her waterbend X ability seems good in an artifact deck since we can tap TH and the Core's to give our Slivers solid base P/T. She acts as another finisher kind of card\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mendicant Core, Guidelight"}},{"insert":" - Cuttable card, since we run a lot of artifacts there's good synergy with its abilities\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ultima, Origin of Oblivion"}},{"insert":" - The other one probably no one uses. Reason being is this decks core is colorless, so we can either double our mana or put a mana lock on the opponent. Really hes better for the mana lock effect. Shutting down their lands into Wastes can absolutely cripple the opponent. Usually hes a body to block, but if you can run away with the mana lock, its disgusting\n"}]}
