Notes:
Has faired me well but always room for improvement. This is my main tourney deck.

It has only 59 cards
And 17 sideboard. If you can, I know it is expensive, but add 4 sprains to the main deck. They are worth this much, they have great synergy with your deck

He's right. You can only have a 15 card sideboard.
Sorin needs to be main deck as well. I would get another one in there with him.

Have been considering Sirin for main deck but not sure what to take out. Don't know if I should run 4 planeswalkers, and Elspeth has been working really well. What do you guys think?
You need sorin main board anytime you play bw tokens.
You might want to consider adding 1 {Oblivion Ring} and dropping all of your {Go for the throat}s. 6 removals is enough in my opinion, because removal is kind of like mana leak: they require you to wait, and you have to use them instead of casting a creature or something to give you board pressence.
In your 3 new empty slots, add 2 {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} and 1 {Fiend Hunter}.
Having 4 plainswalkers is good. 2 of each also is fun because you will usually either have a "sorin game" or an "elspeth game". But either one will work. It's either lifegain then boardwipe opponent or make all your tokens super buff.
As for the feind hunter, adding another will help your removal without hurting your creature count. Everyone hates feind hunters! :)
I take out the honor of the pure and get four sorins main board and add Gideon Jura x2
Yeah, having 4 sorins (those are the sprains I talked about, damn auto correction) together with 2 elspeths and some Gideons would be great. Gideon has synergy with any planeswalker, he is very good. And then, having many planeswalkers is good, because u could have a sorin game, or elspeth game, or gideon game, and then, there is also the solpeth game, the giderin game, the elspeon game, and the damn good gipethrin game!!

Lol I'll bump my deck and show you my version of this build :p
Dude Sorin is like the heart of most B/W token
With the vaults, you are effectively paying 5 mana to use it, they will be late game if anything, or if you hold all your mana to use it on your opponents to buff your blockers, you opponent may not attack anyway, leaving you not playing something else for 5 mana for another turn..
I used to run 2 in my b/w human deck with sorin, by far he was better to have out.
Cards also that might play better..
{bonds of faith} vs black removal
{true conviction} vs {vault of the archangel}
{moment of heroism} vs black removal
{zealous strike} vs black removal
I tended to only run black for sorin and the vault because it was a human deck and I didn't have lingering souls in there.
In my last run of it I think I refined it removing black all together.. Just a thought.
Sorin cost less and does more than elspeth early on and can do a good job protecting himself and I like him better because his guys have life link so you get both of elspeths ability essentially for one condense guy

Played yesterday with some minor tweaks and took second. but it definitely needed some tweaking. So after considering everyone's advice I did decide to add Sorin haha. What do you think?
Get 3 in there.
