Creatures:

2 Clot Sliver
1 Crypt Sliver
1 Spectral Sliver
2 Shifting Sliver
3 Winged Sliver
1 Brood Sliver
2 Horned Sliver
4 Muscle Sliver
2 Heart Sliver
2 Hunter Sliver
4 Plated Sliver
2 Ward Sliver
2 Acidic Sliver
2 Crystalline Sliver
2 Victual Sliver
2 Marton Stromgald

Other:

1 Belbe's Portal
2 Cryptic Gateway
1 Heartstone
2 Bone Harvest
2 Aluren
3 Overrun
2 Pulse of Llanowar
2 Relentless Assault

Lands:

7 Forest
3 Island
5 Mountain
6 Plains
4 Swamp

On paper it looks pretty good, I think. However, I consider it the worst deck I have because IT NEVER WINS. I am really not sure what more to do with it at this point to try and strengthen it. I would like to put a Mana Flare or two in there, possibly in place of the Alurens and/or Overruns, so that I could get more mana quicker, but I don't have them.

Just in case anyone's curious, if I had all of my Slivers and a Heartstone in play, this is the full list of abilities they would have:

+4/+8,
Flying,
Trample,
Haste,
Provoke,
Protection from two colors of my choice,
Can't be blocked except by Slivers,
Can't be the target of spells or abilities,
1: Regenerate,
Tap: Regenerate target Sliver,
1: +1/+1 until end of turn,
1, Sacrifice: Gain 4 life,
1, Sacrifice: Deal 2 damage to target creature or player,
Whenever a Sliver deals combat damage to a player, put a 1/1 Sliver token into play.

However, I would like to point out that never in recorded history has this happened.

Direct damage is the enforcer of sanity in Magic. It ends the game when a bunch of dorks clog up the board with 28 variations of Fog Bank, Puppeteer, Silent Arbiter, and Ensnaring Bridge.

<skip a few>

<skip again>
Can't be blocked except by Slivers,
<skip a few more>

And yes, I realize that these are in fact contradictory. I can force something to block, and yet nothing can block except for other Slivers. Unless I'm playing another Sliver deck (which I doubt will happen anytime soon), it all comes down to which one of them I put in play first.

Hopefully this will help the deck a little bit.

If someone is foolish enough to attack me, then its effect would still be useful when I block.

It speeds up getting the mana you need immensely for a low cost.
	The only things in Magic faster than tapping mana are flipping a coin and taking off your pants.

The deck looks a lot different now, and it works much better as well:

Lands: 20

6x Forest
3x Island
3x Mountain
5x Plains
3x Swamp

Mana fixing: 9

2x Crop Rotation
1x Harrow
2x Pulse of Llanowar
4x Wayfarer's Bauble

Slivers: 36

4x Plated Sliver
2x Ward Sliver
2x Essence Sliver
3x Winged Sliver
2x Mnemonic Sliver
2x Shifting Sliver
2x Clot Sliver
1x Spectral Sliver
1x Toxin Sliver
2x Heart Sliver
4x Muscle Sliver
2x Horned Sliver
2x Brood Sliver
2x Acidic Sliver
2x Crystalline Sliver
2x Victual Sliver
1x Sliver Overlord

Other: 5

2x Bone Harvest
2x Recycle
1x Heartstone

Some good mana fixing did wonders for this deck. It eliminated the need for Belbe's Portal and Cryptic Gateway. Even Pulse of Llanowar isn't necessary for the deck to function anymore; it just makes things more convenient.

As for the slivers, I dumped the Crypt Sliver because it's no good once Crystalline Sliver hits play, and it never helped anyway. And Hunter Sliver is utter trash, I don't know why I didn't recognize that before.

I decided that Marton Stromgald and Overrun were "win-more" cards, meaning that they really didn't help me win. Instead, they just made me win with bigger numbers. And after all this editing, there was not much red left in the deck so I tossed out Relentless Assault as well.
