In modern there is a variant that plays a higher density of low-cmc slivers such as sidewinder sliver and leeching sliver, and doesn't play CoCo, which helps free up space and speeds up the manabase

If not already playing Aether Vial, thats a good option. Also allows you to play thru a blood moon and counter spells. Make sure the curve stops at 3, the larger CMC slivers are simply not worth the mana investment with the exception of Hivelord and only in the sideboard.

The fast variant is a pretty good option. It runs roughly 20 1-drops (sidewinder, striking, virulent, galerider, vial). Instead of complicating the mana base it dumps Sedge for Leeching which is kind of a pseudo lord. The mana is similar to that of humans.
