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.

[Byerley121]

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.

[Pirate John]

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

[Byerley121]

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.
