Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 Slivers seemed to fade away for awhile as a competitive force until
an Extended PTQ season in early 1999. Future Magic Dojo editor Chris
Senhouse and a group of YMG (Your Move Games) players developed a deck
that became known as House of Slivers. The dominant decks at the time
were Sligh (a mono-red deck with cheap creatures and plenty of burn),
High Tide (a combo deck that abused Time Spiral), and Necropotence
decks. House of Slivers was an unexpected deck choice and it earned a
number of the team members Top 8 berths on the East Coast PTQ circuit.
Chris Senhouse claimed the deck completely disrupted the metagame at the
time. Not only did the deck have an aggressive early game like a goblin
deck or a merfolk deck but it had strong control elements as well. It
had counterspells for problem cards. Card drawing in Wall of Blossoms,
Impulse, and Ophidian with Swords to Plowshares to clear the way for the
last one. It had additional utility with Disenchant. It even had a
combo-like quality with Crystalline Sliver and Worship—a two card combo
that presented a serious problem for the red decks at the time.
