- No, thats not a typo: I am trying out good old Sorin, Lord of Innistrad over Sorin, Solemn Visitor. I'm quite unsure of this, but here is my reasoning: he makes tokens with his +1, so he protects himself. Contrast with Solemn Visitor, who makes tokens with -2. But, I am thinking I will switch over to Solemn Visitor for the lifelink, which the deck really needs. We lose a lot of life with Dark Confidant, Thoughtseize, Dismember, and the lands. Lord of Innistrad makes 1/1 lifelink tokens, but its not quite enough. Thoughts?
- The sideboard is a toss up - I am trying to shore up decks / cards I am soft to, but there is literally no way to cover all of the bases. There is a strong argument that certain cards should be dropped in favor of others. This is me throwing my hands up in the air.
- Thoughts on Murderous Cut? I chose Dismember over it, because I can potentially use Dismember on turn 1 to kill mana dorks, which you def can't do with Murderous Cut. The problem, of course, is the life loss on Dismember. Burn is currently competing with Junk as the most popular deck (at least on Magic Online it is, which is what I play). Dismember, along with the large amounts of life loss in the deck, can bite us in the butt in that matchup. So I'm torn. Thinking about putting Cut in the sideboard
