More of a deck which includes Slivers rather than a Sliver deck. Interesting take on them in any case.
The Slivers
A blue and black deck which wants to gum up the battlefield with resilient creatures while it takes control.
Official Product information page (archived)
“The Slivers” is a deck designed for the long game, building up a card advantage. Ultimately, you want access to many more cards than your opponent, which will allow you to win by overwhelming him or her.
Your main job early in the game is simply to survive. You want to create a stable situation—that is, one in which your opponent can’t attack you with creatures.

RKF’s Muscle aside, this is probably my favourite Sliver art of the block. There’s just something about the colours, starkness of the background…

Basic Magic
You control a Clot Sliver, a Mnemonic Sliver, a Fevered Convulsions, and 6 lands. Your opponent controls two Trained Armodon and a Soltari Trooper. If they attack, you destroy a creature of your choice. If they don’t, you kill the Trooper and their position gets worse. A trick or removal spell offers temporary relief, hope is fading. This is The Slivers.

Budget Deckbuilding: The Slivers
This is a perfectly feasible strategy: Play your low-mana cost creatures which get more powerful with their brethren around, then use the excess mana to keep the opposing plays in check. Blue/Black allows for the maximum amount of counterspells and removal, so the decision to go with those colors is absolutely sound. In fact, “The Slivers” seems playable even today, simply taking its contents out of the box and playing with it completely unchanged.

Tempest: The Slivers Review (Part 1 of 2)
To support and protect your budding Sliver army, The Slivers gives you one of the largest countermagic suites of any preconstructed deck ever made- a full seven cards, in a number of shapes and sizes. You might not be getting a lot of Slivers here, but the ones you do get will be well-guarded!
Tempest: The Slivers Review (Part 2 of 2)
Hits: Excellent noncreature support package, especially countermagic and removal; Winged Sliver is the star of the show
Misses: For a Slivers deck, packs in comparatively few of them and doesn’t give you a lot of experience with their unique flavour; a good number of cards are suboptimal inclusions
OVERALL SCORE: 4.20/5.00
Final Trade
Today we have the Tempest era Preconstucted Sliver deck… and man is this deck terrible.
It appears that this person might not be the biggest fan of this deck.

A Fly in Amber: The Theme Decks of Tempest
The Slivers makes the expected choices to fill up its creatures, but it’s noteworthy just how few of them there are. Slivers, after all, are best used in a swarm strategy, since (almost) every Sliver you summon has something to offer the others, and certainly benefits in kind.

Controlling Strategies: If you don’t want to die while building your forces, you need to get your Slivers out quickly. In theory, you should be able to put at least one creature from this deck in play every turn, starting with the second turn.

If there’s a Hoover piece in a deck I’m always going to use it as one of my page breaks! Especially when it’s on an iconic card like this.
