this maindeck is geared towards slivers more than anything. That is why i run the charms. They usually come out game 2 for trickbind and my zombie friend

lands
4 desert
3 dreadship reef
6 island
3 swamp
3 tolaria west
2 urborgs
3 factories

creatures
2 aeon chronicler
3 spiketail drakeling
2 teferi

spells
4 cancel
3 damnation
2 extirpate
3 funeral charm
3 piracy charm
2 mystical teachings
4 slaughter pact
4 sudden death
4 think twice

s/b
4 pongify {for mystic enforcer and phyrexian totems}
4 trickbind {for sacred mesa and phyrexian totems}
3 stupor {fuel extirpate, and sliver decks only draw engine is dormant so if they are sittin with no cards in hand their back is against the wall}
4 withered wretch {i hate body double}

CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome

the main deck has trouble with the body double reanimate decks but can handle everything else quite soundly. sometimes mystic enforcer becomes a problem but that can be fixed post board many times

-1 extirpate +1 Teaching, -6 charms + 3 Tendrils +1 Damnation +1 Draining WHelk, -3 Spiketail Drakeling + 4 delay, -3 Slaugther pact +3 Careful consideration.... Something like that maybe just look @ the sticky thread here.... I also dont like the deserts... replace them with River of tears... and add Terramorphic...

Why those? 1 extirpate is enough, charms arent good without further discard, Tendrils is tendrils, damnation is damnatoin, Draining whelk is counter + finisher, delay is counterspell with teferi Spiketail is runesnag for 3 with teferi, thanks to the other removal 1 slaughter pact is enough, Careful you need more card advantage.

KeySam's suggestions are good however I would run forsee over careful consideration it digs more cards and requires no discard. If you like you could even run one pact of negation to search out with tolaria west or teachings. In this deck you have 0 I repeat Zero reason to run 3 factories. Cut one for another urborg.

Needs more creatures imo. Also Slivers is easy to disrupt, just some discard and Damnnation pretty much shuts it down I think. Incidentally, I wanted to hose slivers myself which is why I made a BU list for that last Master here on M-L. It wasn't perfect but it was way better than this. People made fun of my list because it ran too few mana sources, how ever, it ran 24 just like yours. Except mine had 4x Twisted Abomination. It also doubles as a creature and your deck is lacking in both mana and creatures. My list also had 4x Tombstalker and 4x Take Possession and it absolutely murdered Slivers.

Anyway that's what I think.
