You know what, maybe replace Ajani's Presence with Dauntless Onslaught until rotation? Boros Charm will do all the sweeper protection you need right now, and I think Dauntless Onslaught is too good a heroic enabler to ignore.
I think the new sliver as the commander pushed them over the top
The indestructability is pretty real
I think that my play group tends to run a lot of exile, shuffle, sacrifice, and bounce effects, so while I agree that slivers is a great aggro strategy, I think that control is generally stronger in EDH and Child of Alara/Progenitus just have sweepers for days in addition to massive card draw to get to those sweepers.
Slivers can blindside the whole table, but it can also crumble to Humility-type effects, or be forced to over commit and face Hallowed Burial or Final Judgement.
I would place a good sliver deck in the T1.5 range. Capable of winning any game and a definite threat.
Or Omnath, Asuza, Lost but Seeking, Zur the Enchanter, Oloro, Animar, Nekusar the Mindrazer, Niv-Mizzet the Firemind, Mayeal the Anima, Sharuum the Hedgemon, Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Jhoira of the Ghitu, Rafiq of the Many, Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Maelstrom Wanderer, The Mimeoplasm, Skitherix, the Blight Dragon, Riku of Two Reflections, Krenko, Mob Boss, or Karn, Silver Golem.
That sounds like a who's who of my friend's commanders.
I finally had to break down and build an Omnath deck just to compete, and I gotta tell ya, Omnath into Hornet Queen into Overwhelming Stampede was glorious. When I finally put Helix Pinnacle in the deck, I realized I had probably taken things too far and dismantled it.
And don't forget Sliver Overlord.
There are very few things more satisfying than resolving a Mana Short against an Omnath deck
I got so many quick wins with Second Rite. Bolt, Bolt, Fireblast, Rites.

So I've been messing around with making little perler bead sprite things after seeing a few at local conventions, and thought about trying something Magic related.
So far, I have a goblin token and a plant token. Might do a sliver and a few others too.
They are just about the same size as a regular MtG card.

So I do Modern at my LGS on Wednesdays whenever I don't have work, and since I can't do it consistently, I bought the event deck. Some weeks, it feels like Zealous Persecution is a dead card, but this week, it was a one-sided Wrath of God. I've been really impressed with the deck, which is saying something, since I was one of its biggest detractors (as a concept) when it was announced. Live and learn.
Look, Zealous Persecution is fantastic. I play it as a 4 of because I hate affinity. ZP shits on affinity, it also is a huge play against Merfolk. Those are both annoying decks. It also is a counter spell to Splinter Twin because if they make a million pestermites they all die and if it's deceiver exarch they do no damage. I love it, it is the best card.

report from WNM:
The definition of "happiness" is having a control opponent stall on lands, play and -2 Jace, and getting to split it into piles of Detention Sphere, Sphinx's Revelation // Plains.

I can't tell if you're happy or not
never trust a rakshasa
"I hope our opponent casts Blood Moon so we can cast Tibalt."
The only other card you need to know about:

Where do you guys sell your cards? I have a few Souls (Zendikar, Innistrad, Ravnica) to unload and a bunch of junker Rares. Where should I go ?
For Uncommons (and Commons, I suppose) do you guys sell them to bots? Do they take them? Or should I save those to trade to BulkBots?
you can use it to sell individual cards for the most tickets you can get.

YOU DECIDE SOTAR
5 months of shit thank you. (my budget still gets me to the shell of BGx by December anyway.

maybe I'll do that? I assume they are an honest company and not, like, pack mapping or anything
If you do the $30 package, you are guaranteed 3 packs and the MTG comic, plus 6-9 other items.
I don't really need any of that other shit though, except maybe deck boxes but those ones are kinda fancy for a simple country boy like me
maybe I'll do a month and see what I get not sure yet
Worst case you get shit you will never use, 3 packs, a comic book that might be decent, not sure and probably some sleeves for draft decks.
