    Default Counter-Sliver Deck - Advice?

    Here's what I have so far:

    2 Brood Sliver
    2 Clot Sliver
    4 Gemhide Sliver
    2 Hybernation Sliver
    4 Muscle Sliver
    4 Sinew Sliver
    1 Sliver Legion
    1 Sliver Queen
    2 Shifting Sliver
    1 Heart Sliver
    2 Crystalline Sliver
    2 Telekinetic Sliver
    2 Winged Sliver

    4 Counterspell
    2 Swords to Plowshares
    2 Disenchant
    2 AEther Vial
    1 Wild Pair

    3 Ancient Ziggurat
    1 Gemstone Mine
    2 Forest
    2 Plains
    2 Jungle Shrine
    8 Island
    2 Terramorphic Expanse
    1 City of Brass

    Are there any slivers I should take out in favor of more of some others? Do I need more counters?

    There are a lot of directions you can take this deck. If you want to take it more in the direction of aggro-control, you could try something like this:

    4 Gemhide Sliver
    1 Sliver Legion
    1 Sliver Queen
    1 Shifting Sliver
    1 Heart Sliver
    4 Crystalline Sliver
    2 Telekinetic Sliver
    4 Winged Sliver
    (18)

    4 Counterspell
    4 Swords to Plowshares
    2 Naturalize
    2 AEther Vial
    4 Harrow
    4 Brainstorm
    (20)

    1 Gemstone Mine
    8 Forest
    8 Island
    2 Plains
    1 Mountain
    1 Swamp
    1 City of Brass
    (22)

    My advice is don't play slivers if you like having friends.

    Are you trying a budget version?

    Counter Slivers doesn't work like either of those lists. The following cards are mandatory in every good Counter Sliver list:

    4 Crystalline Sliver
    4 Muscle Sliver
    4 Winged Sliver
    4 Hibernation Sliver

    4 Force of Will
    4 Mana Drain
    4 AEther Vial
    4 Swords to Plowshares/Path to Exile

    Other cards that are usually included: Daze, Counterspell, Meddling Mage.

    The point of Counter Slivers is to build up your army while countering spells. Simple as that.

    Edit: Just realized this thread is over a month and a half old. Cool, guys...

    EDH is not "commander". Sorry Wizards.
