Slivers.
Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 Speaking
of absolutely nothing (yes, I'm the king of segues), that's how much you
need to pay to pop Slivers into play at instant speed thanks to a
handy-dandy Aether Vial. Slivers only range in cost between 1 and 5
mana, with nearly half holding steady at a nifty 2, but their colors are
all over the map. How perfect is that for Aether Vial? You don't have to
worry about the color requirements of Sliver Queen or (even better in
this deck) Sliver Overlord. Your opponent can't safely attack you
because you could always tap your Vial to port in a new Sliver—and
suddenly all your creatures have flying or first strike or +1/+1. Even
better, with an Overlord in play, you can tutor up whichever Sliver
perfectly suits your needs at the time and get it on the table. You can
even tutor up another Overlord in case of Wrath.
The other delightfully colorless combo in this deck is Well of Lost
Dreams with either Victual Sliver or Essence Sliver. (No, those Slivers
aren't colorless, but both their abilities and Aether Vial are.) The
extra life makes Hibernation Sliver's ability easily affordable, and the
extra cards make you win the game. The other other colorless combo is
Aether Vial plus Power Conduit, which slurps off the Vial's free
counters to beef up your Slivers. If you skip adding charge counters to
the Vial over a few upkeeps, the Conduit can even let it shrink from
five counters back down to two. This version of the deck has fourteen
2-mana Slivers to go along with six 5-mana Slivers, four 4-mana Slivers,
and no 3-mana Slivers at all, so having a Vial with two charge counters
on it leaves you happily flush with options.
That deck took a toolbox approach to include at least one copy of nearly
half the Slivers in existence. But Slivers are by nature quite
adaptable. Feel free to adjust any of the decks to match your personal
Sliver tastes (and collection). The first deck needs the Toxin Slivers,
the second needs the Muscle Slivers, and the last needs the Sliver
Overlords, but anything else is open to debate. Mix and match—that's
what the Slivers do!
