EDH

So, Friday Night Magic this week was probably the worst showing I've had. My biggest mow-down was from Pete's RW Kithkin deck, a matchup I knew was bad for me, but my loss to 5CC and a Glen's freaking dragon deck were pretty awful. It was bad enough, that I'm not even going to blog about it. Instead, I'm going to talk tonight about a much more awesome format:

ELDER DRAGON HIGHLANDER

SLIVERS

I built Brenna a Sliver EDH deck for her birthday, and got the chance to pilot it this weekend. When you're looking through this, keep a couple of things in mind: 1) It was built on a pretty strict budget, and my cardpool was pretty limited. Even so, I wanted no creatures other than Slivers, and I wanted to include cards that Brenna was fond of. 2) I prefer to pick cards that are more interesting and fun to play than bombs, especially in casual formats like EDH. 3) Slivers are fucking awesome. Here's the build:
