Hows the perogative working for you?

Sorin seems very weak. I'd rather see {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} or something.

{Nyx-Fleece Ram} over {Wall of Essence} IMO. Being over 4 toughness is a pretty big deal in standard, and it always gains life. Doesn't rely on swings. There is the disadvantage of enchantment subtype, however most won't be boarding that in.

Where are the counter spells?

There are 7 counters main board

I find with what you just said that those three spells are the only good counters which I find faulty as disdainful to be better because 90% of spell worth countering are 4 or more in cost

They're not the only good ones. It's just that I'd expect to see them in control. And {Disdainful Stroke} is very bad vs RDW, U/W heroic and most current token builds.

I feel like counters are just bad against rdw in general but I can see negates in sideboard for the other 2 you named

Might be worth looking into. Also pretty good in the mirror.
