Counter Sliver


This game is overall a fair deck to play with. The creatures are fast, the deck is 
consistent, and with the tutors and counters you can respond quite well on 
what the opponent does. This version is pretty expensive but the slivers
theirself, aren't that expensive. And you could easily use lands like Gemstone
Mine or the new multicolored lands. That way the deck doesn't has to be 
expensive. The deal is to get 2 slivers out fast, then play a muscle and start
hitting. Which you do quite fast. Backed up with duresses, swords and 
counters you should be able to keep control over the game till you won.
