Pre­mium Deck Series — Slivers

Release: Nov. 20th, 2009

1. Just a quick ques­tion about sliv­ers in gen­eral: why do peo­ple hate them so much? Per­son­ally, they are my favorite to play with because they work so dang well together.

2. it’s a love/hate relationship.

   the real headache is the mir­ror since both play­ers get plusses. Some­times it’s almost to much math. that’s com­ing from a math teacher.

3. I love and hate sliv­ers. Steer­ing a sliver deck feels great, because pretty much every card in the deck syncs with every­thing else, and you wind up build­ing up steam very very quickly. How­ever, when fac­ing Sliv­ers, even at a mul­ti­player table, there’s a fine line between death and vic­tory. Peo­ple either see you’re play­ing sliv­ers and beat you to death before you can do any­thing about it, or you man­age to stay under the radar before you explode and win. Mul­ti­player tables hate sliv­ers for that.

   And speak­ing of “every card in the deck syncs with every­thing else,” I can fore­see Allies becom­ing that way as well, but with slightly less gross impact per creature.

4. I bought the Sliver deck 2 days ago and I am very happy with what came of it. All foil deck with a foil deck case, what more do you need? Sure it was some­what expen­sive ($38) but man am I happy. When I played my friends they were all amazed at the power that these crea­tures gave each other. My rat­ing is a 5:5. :D
