Commander: The First Sliver

The First Sliver art

The First Sliver is yet another 5-color Legendary Sliver that is an obvious but powerful choice for a Commander. The fun part about building a Sliver Commander deck is that you can play with a different 5-color Commander every game. The First Sliver, however, is a particularly powerful new option as anyone who has played with Maelstrom Wanderer will know. As always with our Commander series, we're not here to tell you how to build your Commander deck, but we have saved you a bit of the work to get started. After the Commander options and top Commander Tribal cards, we've sorted all of the Slivers that exist as of Modern Horizons into three tiers: Top Tier Slivers, Good Slivers, and Other Slivers. Lastly, we've identified some key 5-color enablers and lands to make the deck run smoothly.
