Here is one of my older EDH decks that I still whip out occasionally. I think this would be far more suited to 1v1, although you could pull off some mass politicking. See if you can spot the cards to keep your opponents in line...
As you can see, Sliver Queen is a no show. The reason is mainly due to the cost of acquiring one (30 dollars, no thanks) as well as no shops in my city carrying one. I know there are probably other good slivers out there, but I purposefully left some insane slivers out, such as the one that grants all slivers unblockability as well as the sliver that gives all slivers shadow. I want my opponents to have a chance...even if that chance is near infinitely none as compared to none whatsoever.
i think i'm a little lost here whats the point in hivestone when all of your creatures are already slivers or count as slivers except for the bazaar trader?
Good question Xcric. I wanted to pull massive shenanigans using the Hivestone + Bazaar Trader combo. Want to help someone on the verge of beating another player? Trade the hivestone to him. After that player wipes out another opponent, feel free to steal those critters, courtesy of the Overlord. That combo has made for hilarious moments in my playgroup.

Seems pretty narrow and quite poor when you factor in your lack of tutoring for either piece in a 99 card deck. I'd much rather trade out both of those cards for things that are always good by themselves.
