No... that lame. Period.

I've never been a fan a slivers ether

Haveing an ALL foil Slivers deck is really lame. Slivers dont take stratagy to use at all. It really is just Play mobs deck.

As far as the whole Idea of it, no, even if it was a diffrent tribal, having ALL foils is too far. Foil decks should be built by hard collection, not buy a premade deck thats already all foils.

5 rares and one mythic rare? well seeing as slivers were never printed as mythic rares i think that idea is lame. It's just putting a price on the "mythic rare" sliver making that card in general increase in value....

Ether way I still need to see the actauly cards in the deck to make a final conslusion.

Slivers? Fun, usually to slip one or two into a totally different deck, just to scare people. eek Yeah, like that.
Foil? EPIC FAILURE. I don't care about foils anyway, so what's the big deal? I mean, I still want to get this, but unlike my other decks, it'll HAVE TO live in sleeves. scream Curse you, foil cards!

I'm not gonna get it. I have most of those slivers and already have a 5 color sliver deck that works well so there isn't a need to get in my opinion.

It's not like I hate Slivers, their Great I understand that.

But Really playing against a sliver deck is no fun for casual players. Almost always the slivers win. and this is just casual junk none-of-that Turn 1 Vintage wins im not including that.

I know that all the children I teach Magic to are going to all get those sliver decks. Looking at it from me, the kids who dont happen to grab the sliverdeck are gonna get worked, cause They'll be playing with Preconstructed Decks that they just bought at the nearby card shop. Children like to win, period, They end up not wanting to play you (or give up playing if they loose all the time) if you constantly win. We have a kid that has happened to no one wants to play him, but he's using a Elf-Combo deck, He's pretty good for his age but the kids hate loosing to him and he's only 11!! (These kids are like 8-13)

But whatever, I'll just run a Black Deck, playset Plague Sliver haha.


Anyways back to the sliver topic haha, I Just know Wizards is Making this cause They KNOW it will sell. Having an ALL Foil deck for Sale will Almost Sell a Deck Itself for Collectors, and putting them into Slivers well it's Sold

Personally I LURVE slivers- and yes i bought that deck. All the shininess hurt my eyes through, haha. I modded the crap out of it, and its safe to say, only half of it is holo now, but yeah, in general I'm not very good at magic, but I do appreciate how great this particular deck is for teaching new people the game! I'm not very good at explaining and then showing, so a teaching game, i can explain a TON of different abilities and stuff with the sliver deck, and costs and stuff like that.

That said, it's not my most played deck- I think that's either my Cat deck or Eldrazi deck(more likely the cat themed one, teehee)

@ultra_violet that seems like a wonderfully horrible thing to do! Muhahahahaha. xD

problem with sliver decks is they can be stoped with one card{insert dramatic pause here} A cheap to summon sliver.
