Slivdrazi Monstrosity: Little (and Big) Dudes that I love!

I have been playing Magic: The Gathering for quite some time, starting around high school. My first sets were the Theros block and Gatecrash, purchased from our local pharmacy because the concept of a game store was foreign to teen me.

The decks I played with were roughly assembled, to say the least, based on how cool I thought they were.

I lost a lot.

Most games I played, honestly.

Then college came, and textbooks caused me to sell off most of my card collection for far too little compared to what I paid. Not even sure it covered a single textbook.

Meeting my partner and realizing he’s a bigger magic nerd has helped me improve my skills. I’m still not great with deck building, and he helps to fix the flaws.

(A skill I wish I had!)

Which produced this sweet little love letter to both him and my favorite tribal decks. Slivers and Eldrazi.

It got even better when I found a fun card called Slivdrazi Monstrosity.

What a sweet, sweet feast for my eyes. Eldrazi with sliver traits? Slivers with annihilator? Oh, my…

A new commander for a new commander deck. How fun would that be!

Thankfully, we found a local that sells singles at a decent price.

I can see why they never went through with this being an actual card, as much as I wish otherwise. My play group is fine with test cards because they run pretty competitive decks compared to me, who goes:

Haha, little slivers!

It’s not going to be used for official events, just fun.

I’m starting to ruffle a deck list together. A vampiric tutor here. A harmonic sliver there. Maybe an Ulamog. Who knows.
