You need atleast 1 more garruk relentless and 1 more sorin. Also cut a vraska for a primal hunter. I played this deck once at FNM and took first, and I'll tell you right now those planeswalkers will get you farther then anything.

Control is always pretty tought to come at with anything except control, especially with board wipes like {supreme verdict} and {terminus}. the planes walkers definetly help on that aspect, also vraska tends to destroy and board based win conditions, but she is a little late game, an idea for side board my be {duress} or {apetite for brains}. At this point the only board wipe for less the 4 is {bone fire of the damned}, but that's the only way I can think of to really defend against that type of control.
What type of control do you tend to have problems against, btw? Can't really think of any off the top of my head that vraska shouldn't be able to deal with, she kills any tamiyo or jace based win conditions

It's typically American flash. Someone at my lgs won with one one week and now they are popping up like crazy. No plainswalkers. Mostly counters and board wipes.

Not that you're really taking anyone's suggestions to heart at this point, but mana dorks are also quite necessary in this

Would you take them over  {Borderland Ranger}? Removal or a board wipe would cut me back a notch if I ran dorks. I always appreciate advice. This deck isn't done yet as some of the cards are expensive. Actually picking up my first Sorin tonight

Yes I would. Only because if you use them to get out your walkers early, board wipes are not nearly as threatening!

Edited. Stronger focus on tokens. Much more consistent. Still wanting  {Garruk, Primal Hunter} and another  {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} for it
