hi guys have someone made a new version of the sliver decks with card images?

[Kaisash]

thank you so much for doing this, I shall remake my old sliver deck

Hello everyone!

I want to say thank you for all the great mods here. I've just started building a sliver deck and I have trouble adding hivestone. It won't show up in deck manager.

Everything else seems fine but I can't figure how for this particular one.

Perhaps a missing character in xml?

If you insert a new card in a deck but you can't see the new card in the deck manager, this often means you made one of the most common mistakes:

• You made something wrong in the XML syntax. For example you may have forgot "/" in the end of a block, or you started with <STATIC_ABILITY> and ended with </TRIGGERED_ABILITY> (this happens to me sometimes when I copy-paste). You can verify the XML syntax very quickly if you have the Firefox browser (not sure if other browsers can do that the same way): drag and drop your card XML onto Firefox and see what happens: if it shows the XML file, the syntax is correct; otherwise you should see a yellow page with red text that tells you where the syntax is wrong.
• You saved the XML file with the wrong encoding. All cards must be saved in UTF-8 encoding, not ANSI (which is the default for Notepad if you start from a blank new file). You can easily discover if you saved in ANSI because if you reopen the card XML, the special characters won't be readable (for example, Japanese text will be a series of "??????????..." on Notepad).

Here's what firefox says to me when I open the file :

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: file:///D:/test/bin/Deck_1985_ST_unpacked/DATA_DECKS/DECK_1985_ST/DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS/CARDS/HIVESTONE_19851054.xml

I did remove "�" and now it does appears in game!

Thank you sir !

Awesome work! There should be more sliver decks! They are very powerful

Does anyone still have the original .wad that GravitonGamer uploaded wich contains the two custom cards "Sliver Hive" and "Sliver Talisman"? (Since the link in his post is dead and the version that RiiakShiNal posted doesn´t seem to contain them....or am i missing something?)

The WAD file also includes (actually I just forogot to remove them) two custom cards which I used to test the Sliver cards I coded. They are Sliver Hive and Sliver Talisman. They were never meant to be included in the decks, so please don't be startled if they are WAY overpowered.

[RiiakShiNal]

I see Sliver Hive in the WAD, but not Sliver Talisman. Maybe he remembered to remove Sliver Talisman, but not Sliver Hive in his last update back in July 2012.

Anyway neither of those cards are official cards, he invented them to help in testing the real cards he was building. Just this ability shows that it is way overpowered:

{T}: Search your library for a sliver permanent card and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

Plus of course he made that land a Sliver as well so other Slivers would affect it (just making the card even more powerful).

Hoping it could be useful I would make you notice that I discoveder a glow visual bug
