I'm sure Slivers are actually going to be obnoxious in draft, but fuck it, they're a cool interesting tribe that isn't Elves.

4-0 with this deck last night:

4x lord of atlantis
4x master of the pearl trident
4x merrow reejery
4x silvergil adept
4x cursecatcher
2x phantasmal image

4x aether vial
4x mana leak
3x vapor snag
2x spell pierce
2x spreading seas
3x cryptic command

14 island
4 mutavault
2 tectonic edge

WHEEE.

Not the stiffest competition, but I'm happy to be playing real formats again, and not the most boring and least skill intensive standard in recent memory.

Yes. What if you have thragtusks in your graveyard, but you want to take your opponents mana dorks for the sick rub ins? Decisions, decisions.

Either way, I really like how this deck plays. I love tempo decks. Several times when my opponent had ostensibly stabilized I could just sit back and wait to draw 1 lord for the island walk to finish them off in one swing with mutas. The deck is really fun.

That is pretty clearly the modern version.

This is the legacy version:

4x lord of atlantis
4x master of the pearl trident
4x merrow reejery
4x silvergil adept
4x cursecatcher
1x phantasmal image

4x aether vial
3x standstill
4x daze
2x spell pierce
4x force of will
1x dismember
1x Kira, great glass spinner

12 island
4 mutavault
4 Wasteland

The dismember and Kira being flex slots. I've been toying around with a singleton Jitte in the Kira slot. Pretty sure I like the one of dismember.

I don't know if I like the standstills to be honest. I cut them from my merfolk a long time ago, but again, now that combo is popular again, it might be a good choice. I'll post my list when I get home.

Kira has been underwhelming for me, but I love jitte, so yes, cut Kira for jitte.

4 cursecatcher
4 coralhelm commander
4 master of the pearl trident
4 merrow reejerey
4 silvergill adept
4 lord of atlantis
4 Phantasmal Image
4 Spellstutter Sprite (OMGWTF, i know, but this is a replacement for daze, and FUCKING good off a vial. Also, Mutavault, Phantasmal Image plays WELL with this.)

4 AEther Vial
4 Force of Will

4 Mutavault
4 wasteland
12 Island

SB:
2 Relic of Progentius
2 Tormod's Crypt
3 Phyrexian Revoker (Griselwhat?)
1 Seasinger (Lol @ Show+Tell)
3 Submerge
2 Spell Snare
2 Flusterstorm

A bit unorthodox, but very efficient, and catches people out of left field with sprites. More good than you think.

RE: your list- I like dismembers A LOT. I'd switch kira for jitter (kira goes in sideboard).

I cracked 0 mythics and 0 shocks in my fat pack today.

But I got the DGM cards I needed and the other cards to round out the SB for my mill deck. We'll see how it does Friday night.

I have anither 2 weeks of drafting before a standard FNM here. I'm not sure if I'm happy about drafting or disappointed that I don't get to try Junk out before game day.
