@Omega137: If it's just Ward Sliver that's causing you problems, you can fix that with a Ghostflame Sliver. Crystalline Sliver will still mess it up, though.
@gantz036: Iona, Shield of Emeria stops opponents from casting spells of the chosen color, but it doesn't stop them from using abilities. If you've already got this guy out when Iona hits the field, you can continue to use him. But if he was in your hand at the time, you wouldn't be able to cast him.

I pulled this card off as well as the queen, heartstone, heart sliver, quite a few more slivers, and had the gemhide in my hand...
My opponent dropped an extinction on my slivers assess...

I love it to death..... but when used in a sliver deck, it has a major drawback. if your opponent manages to take control of Sliver Overlord, your creatures will quickly turn agaist you. I like to use Runed Stalactite to equip to an opponatnts creatures and then immediatly take controkl of them for 3.

How about Unnatural Selection? Not only does it provide easy creature stealing, but If you're playing EDH multiplayer, Unnatural Selection is also a great multiplayer tool, since you can buff other players' creatures with your slivers at instant speed.

How exactly would you equip Runed Stalactite to your opponents' creatures? I mean, I guess that would be a novel use for Magnetic theft, but you'd get a maximum of 4 shots with it, wasting up to 5 slots in your deck(equipment + 4 copies of magnetic theft). Using Amoeboid Changeling accomplishes the same thing, as many times as you can untap him, he's tutor-able with Overlords search ability, AND he gets all the bonuses from your slivers.

This a tough EDH general to fight.
You can tutor artifact/enchantment/creature removal, life gain, evasion, shroud, protection from a color, poisonous, etc. Then, to make matters even worse, your 7-power, unblockable, untargetable, untuckable general kills with commander damage in 3 hits.
However, the raw power is NOT the problem.
The problem is that he plays the same EVERY game. It's boring. And counter to the vision of EDH:
"The Banned List for Commander is designed not to balance competitive play, but to help shape in the minds of its fans the vision held by its founders and Rules Committee. That vision is to create variable, interactive, and epic multiplayer games where memories are made, to foster the social nature of the format, and to underscore that competition is not the format’s primary goal. It sets out to define the parameters of Official Commander while recognizing that local groups may wish to modify things to suit their own needs." -Sheldon Menery
