What are some ways I can make my Illegal Slivers EDH deck more illegal?

Hey there! I posted this on r/magictcg a while back, but I've seen and received many new ideas for cards and I'd love to see if you have any new ones.
I had my Japanese copy of Sliver Queen in my wallet for years because my friend found it for $2 in a bargain bin, and I thought I could just buy another - not knowing it was Reserve List. Whoops. So I decided to build an Illegal Slivers EDH deck where every card is somehow not quite legitimate, with a few restrictions - no power 9, no OG duals, and if I can help it try to make as much variety between restrictions as possible, all while trying to keep it as a legitimate deck that aims to use Queen as the wincon. But I'm only about a quarter of the way there. Here's what's up:
-
Cards from other games with the same or similar names are used; Swamp from Wyvern, Island from Dominion, Ancient Tomb from Pokemon, Xiahou Dun the One-eyed from Wixoss, Karoo from One Piece, Duel Masters copy of Muscle Sliver...
-
I'm using relevant illegal MtG prints - World Championship decks, Mystery Booster playtests, an art copy of the Unearth Sliver I keep forgetting the name of, silver borders / acorns, etc. Also Clickslither (from Legions!) instead of Quick Sliver (from Legions!).
-
I was looking for a Wheel of Fortune tarot card before I found that lööps sticker and decided to go with that.
-
My favorite is that someone originally stole the shipment of Crystalline Sliver promos before they were going to give them out... So if you had a copy of it at one point, it was literally-illegal stolen goods. Eventually they retrieved them and distributed them.
I've got other ideas, and I'm trying to break each rule. Looking for:
-
The best single thing from the ban list
-
Lutri as companion, or one card used twice
-
One ante card
-
Planechase and Conspiracy
-
The card Unquenchable Fury, to be confused with Unquenchable Fury
-
A 30th Anniversary card
-
Some oversize cards as regular-size proxies
-
An AI generated Sliver as a proxy
-
Some configuration of Unfinity Stickers to make a new Sliver card of my own
-
A World's Smallest for something like a Night's Whisper
-
An Armageddon trading card for Armageddon, a Heart
hstone from WoW TCG, a Force of Will from L5R TCG, a whole bevy of cards from LotR card game... I still also need Sliv-Mizzet.
And once this is all done... Find 100 different card sleeves to wrap these in. I'd also love - LOVE - to get the Queen graded and still use it as my Commander.
So, Tildes - how else can I make this deck even worse? Thanks!

Starfield: The Settled Systems - Where Hope is Built
Starfield: The Settled Systems - The Hand that FeedsAfter a few weeks of silence on the game, Bethesda's launched a set of quite charmingly-nostalgic anime styled videos, as an exposé on 3 of the big cities within the game: New Atlantis, Akila City and Neon.
I've been trying to satiate my hype for the game so even this little tidbit is a welcome surprise.

For Honor is having a free week(end on August 3rd) and have also released a new hero, the Ocelotl.
The Ocelotl comes equipped with a Macuahuitl club and Tepoztopilli spear, using these to have infinite chained attacks, and a few bash attacks. He is a hybrid, described as a ganker and disabled. His feats makes it so at tier 1 when he dies, he can move in spirit form and respawn wherever after 10 seconds, but with very little health. The longer you wait to respawn, the more health you have. The tier 2 is a complement to this, so the enemy that killed you is marked, and tier 3 increases attack speed and damage done, after you kill someone. Tier 4 is a spear attack, which drags an enemy towards you and inflict bleed.
I have tried the new hero out and overall, finds him relatively balanced. While his feats adds a new form of stress, his actual moveset is okay. It isn't stupidly OP, nor is it weak. It's pretty smackdabb in the middle, imo. Also, his feats are an inderect buff to heavy heroes, as boosting a zone is important, so the Ocelotl doesn't respawn in you back zones. This makes it so heavies can more easily build up renown (they gain extra renown from boosting), while also adding surprise attacks. All in all, I like playing against the Ocelotl (as I main Warlord, and like boosting) and I also like playing a Ocelotl.

Basically as the title says. I'm a big proponent of "judging people by what they do, not what they say"; it has been one of my most unshakeable life mottos and I can't, for the life of me, grasp why or how someone with even a modicum of intellectual honesty can believe otherwise.
I'm very interested in the nature of the mental gymnastics going on inside the people who defend themselves with such statements.
Thanks folks !!
