I suggest cutting sorin and lifebane zombie from the main. Sorin doesn't fit in your deck at all and 1 lifebane zombie doesn't do much.

I have been testing it and it works very well with both those cards. It's the type of thing where you have to play it to understand.

What are the chances you draw that single lifebane zombie when you need it tho? It's extremely slim. Same for the sorin

Honestly with as much draw power as I have it's quite common to see it 2 out of three games.

I know sorin works well with souls but unfortunately the meta game I play in causes souls to be too slow and I'd rather have the hard core removal than the tokens. The reason I like the sorin tokens is because of lifelink. I could defenatly use your thoughts about sideboard.
