{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Intro"},{"insert":"\nA Sliver deck that's not 5 colors? What is this madness?\nThis deck is looking to dump Slivers (and other utility creatures) with 3 or less base power into the graveyard and reanimate them with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Terra, Herald of Hope"}},{"insert":" or one of secondary commander options, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Alesha, Who Smiles at Death"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate"}},{"insert":" . There are also a few options to make our non-Sliver creatures into Slivers so they can benefit from the Sliver tribal auras.\n\nWhy Slivers with Terra? Almost all Slivers, even the ones that cost 6 mana, have base power 3 or less, which makes them eligible for recursion with Terra. Sliver decks can struggle with having enough mana to make multiple plays per turn, and with having enough card advantage to keep applying pressure. Terra solves these issues and more by giving the deck card advantage and selection (by using the yard), ramp (by paying 2 mana instead of base costs), and resiliency (by being able to reuse effects). Terra is the commander over the other options because she combines a mill engine, evasion, and recursion into a single card. \n\nBecause this deck has a heavy focus on filling the graveyard via self mill and discard, I’ve opted for either creature based versions of effects (like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Accursed Marauder"}},{"insert":" ) that can be reused, or non-creatures that don’t mind being in the graveyard (like flashback effects).\n\nTo win, this deck generally wants to produce sufficient evasive Slivers to punch through with combat damage. There's a few minor combos as well, outlined below. This deck is intended to grind out games with efficient recursion over any explosive combo. Power wise, this deck should play well in the high b2-b3 range.\n\n While I’m running about $150 worth of lands in this deck, you could easily use the lands in the budget section instead, and get the total cost of the deck down to about $100.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Interaction"},{"insert":"\nThe removal suite in this deck trades versatility (instant speed) for efficiency.
