Hey Brian! Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate your channel and loved to see you playing my dear tribe. Just two cents about the deck: I used this list in the Legacy Showcase Challenge, where I expected a dominant amount of fair Murktide decks all day, that is the reason for some narrow choices like Syphon, Maze, and no Force of Will, not sure if I would recommend this configuration for more open metas or leagues. 58:46 - I don't think that hands like this are keepable not knowing if the opponent plays Wasteland or not. 1:03:56 - I think this is a reasonable keep since you already have Cavern, Crystalline, and three 1 drops to deploy if you miss the land drop for some turns, also considering that opponent's deck probably doesn't run Wastelands.

Greetings again from the Sliver Discord! This video pleases the Hive!

11 cards in with only 2 lands should happen around 32% of the time, which isn't "most" of the time but isn't exactly a small number either.

Comment of the day! Seeing slivers is a nice surprise! What a MTG classic!! I'd be interested in seeing a tournament report from the pilot that top 8 with this deck. Does anyone know of one?

I'm not saying it's wrong to play Slivers in legacy without Force of Wills, but one of my favorite interactions with the deck has to be bouncing a blue Sliver via Hibernation's ability to pitch cast a Force of Will. Between Hibernation, Crystalline, and Galerider Sliver, the deck does have access to a significant amount of blue cards.

Loving the sliver gameplay!

Man...I really miss the old intro music. Cool decklist and games regardless.😌

Not a fan of archetypes like slivers when you have to deal with your opponent also playing slivers, but in a legacy que it's sweet

40:35 Is there a world where you side in Maze to keep whatever equipped/protected by mom creature out of combat forever?

I wonder if there is an argument for running some kind of recruiter with some sort of recursion on it. Maybe like some sort of death and taxes style 80 card yorion pile that controls an opponent and then just grabs all sorts of slivers. Probably not, but engagement or something.

Yo legacy crowd, can you help me out? So im playing commander exclusivly in a local group. Since watching that channel i absolutely love the legacy format for many reasons. However it looks absolutely unaccessable for me. Every deck costs thousands of euros. Playing that in paper magic is absolutely no options, since unfortunately i can not shit money :( Also i found out that even the "digital cards" on magic online cost money ?! Can anyone give me a hint how much the kind of the deck BoshNRoll plays cost in magic online? Like the bant decks or the kitten one... It feels like the paywall is so huge, that i cant get into that format.

@BoshNRoll

Yeah accessibility is a nightmare for these formats, the reserved list is a terrible thing. My decklists in the video description are on MTGGoldfish, which is also a pricing tool. The cost of the deck in paper and online should be on the top right of the decklist browser window. In paper, most places have embraced the use of proxy cards for Legacy because of how expensive it is, that’s a way to push the local scene into trying the format. Online I use Cardhoarder, which is a monthly subscription that lets you borrow from their vendor collection and try tons of different decks. Having that access is the only way this channel works, playing different decks every day. I recommend starting there.

@@BoshNRoll thanks for your answer. Maybe in our commander group we play a few rounds of legacy with proxy decks. I was looking for a chance to just play legacy as a "pick up game" every now and then. I like that compared to commander it seems like more "high paced" and nuanced decision making. And more details that matter a lot, since the decks are more reliable for you but also more predictable for the opponents. But checking the pricing... even with the loan accounts, that would be hilarious. I´ve checked some of the decks i liked from your channel, but thats an easy 1500 tix to have like 2-3 decks (depending how they overlap). Thats, if i understood the system correctly 37,5 tix a week (2,5%) wich translates to about 35€ a week, so 140€ a month. Unfortunately totally unreasonable if you dont go all in on that. And even then 140€ for virtual cards is quite the banger xD Guess im gonna have to stay on commander and enjoy legacy on your channel. Its really great entertainment. Next time i win the lottery i might start legacy :D

I think I'd play 2 or 3 Aether Vials in this deck (with more lands in the other slots), because they're good but not critical to have. Meanwhile you really don't want to draw multiples. I know Magic players use the mental shortcut of "if you want to draw a card early, run 4. If you want to draw a card in the midgame, run 1-3." But I have a mathematics degree and it's not like any individual Vial is magically more likely to appear on top of your deck in the early game if you run 4 as opposed to 2-3 Vials. So "run 0 or 4 Vials" doesn't have statistical merit.

Now we need an Eldrazi agrro deck!

I'll be honest, I wasn't going to watch but then I noticed the prisoner reference...

I think they're more cool conceptually than during gameplay, unfortunately. A bit of a shame is that with slivers, probably the best thing you can do is just rush your opponent down with things like Muscle Sliver and a "give slivers flying" sliver. That just seems better than trying to be some kind of combo sliver or midrange sliver or control sliver. But then you just have a volatile rush deck, that sometimes produces near-unbeatable nuts draws, while other times you draw 3x "give everything flying" or you don't draw the right lands and you don't do a whole lot. Maybe if I was playing kitchen table magic for fun, I'd love them.

I am quite honestly sick of how consistent and good Izzet Delver is. It's a dead horse from me at this point, but the deck is STILL too good. It's been the Boogeyman of the format for how many years now? I'm to the point where they need to ban Iteration, Daze, Murktide, and DRC. Get back to the OG Delver because the format is such shit right now.

You ban engine cards and not the payoffs, right? With that in mind, I'd ban fetchlands. That cripples Brainstorm and Murktide Regent, plus other delve cards. Plus fetchlands take a long time in paper, are boring to execute in paper, make decks too resilient to nonbasic hate, and help cheaters.

please put back the music

If you could stop playing against boring old UR Delver first round every time that would be great.
