Okay, first lets work on mana....
The blank spots you have should be filled with....
4x Tendo Ice Bridge
4x City of Brass
Maybe....
Forbidden Orchard
Grand Coliseum
Mirrodin's Core
Thran Quarry
Crystal Quarry
Okay, take your pick....
I like the Bridge the City and the Quarry.....

Now you creature base is good but you need to make room for mana excel...
I would use....
Birds of Paradise
Utopia Tree
Sakure-Tribe Elder
Kodama's Reach
...Etc...
For your artifacts...
I don't know if you have it but
Cryptic Gateway
and maybe
Belbe's Portal

That should really better the play of your deck....

sounda alot like my old deck before i desided to limit its power.
the blank spots are for the rare lands from guildpact and the next ravanica set. as for the artafacts.. il have to take a look at them to see if i can use them to there fullest potential. i made this deck to have ONLY slivers. ya i know that is a big limitation in most aspects( like mana axcel or overall unique spells.) but this is more for show and flavor. its basically jsut the slivers and a few artafacts. the other spells hideing in there are just sidebord goodies. lol

Putting in all the Ravnica duals isn't very cost efficient and not incredibly effective. You want to take two damage every turn to drop a land? You won't really have the option of dropping them tapped if you're playing slivers.

as for $... i doont really care too much... i spent 280$ last week alone on cards. and anyways that everything in this deck costs 2 or more... i dont have to take 2 damage on the first turn. (and + there good cards aso if i dont get them for this deck il put them in another deck"s")it is an option that is ecncially better then throwing in the cards like city of brass and other cards simeler like that sense i would die faster takeing 1 damage everytime i tap it for mana. ive alao notised that if these where mostley basic lands it isnt very effective. i usaly die from not haveing the right mana. the lands ravnica lands prevent that.

so the only other thought i can think up is finding the perfect balence between basic and non basic(or ways to get out the basic lands out)witch will take many games with the deck to try to find.

If money isn't really an issue, why not go for the old dual lands? They aren't much more than Rav lands on ebay currently, and no damage to drop them.

Of course it depends on whether you planned on making it a tournament deck.

many reasons...
1. the old dual lands are alot of $ (like $55/$75) to the places i go to. il spend alot of $ on my cards but im not made of $.
2. i dont trust ebay or any other internet buying. no garentee that i will recive something genuine and its annoying to go through something like that.
3.the dual lands are hard as hell to get! i try but they kept evadeing me! it took me forever to find the 2 sliver queens (got them resentley).(i live in a city where magic is quite popular)so this is the next best thing to them.
4. ya im trying to make it tourni legal.(to a degree)
5. more resent and eazy to find these ravanica cards then the duel lands.

if i really wanted to make this deck really uber good i would throw in my Mox's(have 3/5 of the Moxe's) and my black lotus. and a few other good cards. im trying to make this deck fun egnough to be a challenge but not so powerfull that there is no way to win. its no fun to turn off someone to the game if they get beat to eazy.
