Probably a mixture of misplays and lack of familiarity with the format. Also, infect, ew. Please guys, any thoughts? Really want to get more into Modern.

IMO you should cut all Sorin. And {Baneslayer Angel} should be mainboard (i did it and she never did bad) and as a 2 of. {serum visions} can be cut to 3 if you want to run it, and {think twice} is good card although some people don't run it, all up to the user. {Shadow of Doubt} can be good here (again, up to the user). It's a good card draw and funny against fetches and the Maze's End decks, if you ever see them in modern. {Esper Charm} is a personal favorite of mine, the discard and draw choice is really nice. If you want a good walker, you can go a {Jace, Memory Adept} win con. Also, not a lot of people like it, but {Nephalia Drownyard} is a good card when it works. Just my opinion here. (:

{Creeping Tar Pit} is generally better than {Nephalia Drownyard}.

{Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} isn't a terrible win con. But I have seen most people run {Elspeth, Knight Errant} instead. I would not recommend {Sorin, Solemn Visitor}.

I agree on cutting new Sorin at least, he seems bad in a control deck. I think baneslayer could be cool, I also like murderous cut in this deck. Also, I highly support the esper charm reccomedation
