Evaluation

RatingB

Pros

  • Potentially high attack depending on number of cards in your hand.
  • Its attack reduction on your opponent's monster is permanent.
  • Destroys monsters that your opponent summons if it's below 2,000 attack.
  • Can be special summoned, but will only last until the end phase.
  • Can still be useful even if it has low attack.

Cons

  • Difficult to summon.
  • Can only last for 1 turn if special summoned.

Tips

Tribute summoning

Getting the tribute fodders can be easy if you use tokens or Ra's Disciple, but it won't be good if you don't pair them with other cards that can take advantage of it. You will also need some protection spell/trap cards in order to tribute summon for the next turn, or use Double Summon instead, making it quite a heavy investment and can be bad if your opponent can counter it.

Special summon

Special summoning Slifer will only make it stay until the end phase, but it can still be effective if you summon it during your opponent's turn before they summon monsters. It can also still be good if you want an extra attack during your turn if you can secure the win.

Draw power

Draw cards for certain monster type/attributes like Wonder Wand, Cards of the Red Stone, or even Soul Transition can be good if your deck synergizes with them, but cards like Jar of Greed or Good Goblin Housekeeping can be used in almost all decks, and it can even work as a surprise attack increase for Slifer. Golden Bamboo can also be good if you can pair that up with cards like Maha Vailo or Mythical Beast Cerberus.

Dealing with set monsters

Since Slifer can destroy, or cripple your opponent's summoned monsters, people will often set their monsters to defend against an attack. You can use cards like Meteorain or Big Bang shot to inflict some piercing damage when attacking them, or you can simply go for direct attacks instead. You can use cards like Shadowslayer, Secret Pass to the Treasures, or Shooting Star Bow - Ceal. Gravity Axe - Grarl can also be helpful to keep them locked and prevent flip effects.

You mean little baby thunder dragons that gain 50 atk for every card in your hand? Aren’t intimidating at all and they just kinda nibble on mama and make her all tired? I love that

Seems to be unplayable in the current meta. You're probably not able to summon Slifer at all.

I'm not sure if it's even intended to be a PVP deck at the time that pic is posted.

Looks like that deck even fails against most lv 30 duelists. Seriously, how are you going to summon Slifer if you can't protect Ra's Disciple?

Uhm... no. The god cards appeared in the anime in 2001. They weren't released as playable cards until 2010. The anime is their original effects, the real card game nerfed them. They appeared in the anime almost 10 years before they were actual cards you could play.

Slifer and Silent Magician combo deck would be awesome together. Tricky to do though, since both rely on cards in your hand.

They work really well together

Poor Slifer. He’s the only God Card to not have any practical use so far with Obelisk being Obelisk and Ra being an Ace for farming.

In a tag duel, will slifer's ability be contributed from my partners hand?

I’m really trying to build a competitive Slifer deck. Can you guys help me with that?

For example, look at Exo's deck below. It'll successfully accomplish point 1 and 3: summoning and powering Slifer. However, it will encounter trouble if his opponent just destroys Slifer. The guy who uses Ojama should fare better, since it has a way to OTK and clearing the backrow... Although it will face a different problem of being inconsistent. Not belittling them, but it isn't easy.
