I like the deck. My only worry is that Sorin, Grim Nemesis is too expensive to summon and might end up slowing down the early game (although I have considered adding it to my own deck). Essence Extraction might be a good swap. ...+1

The only time I've run into issues with Sorin's cost is when I pull him before turn 4 or so, and even then it isn't a big deal. This is a slow, grindy, death-of-a-thousand-cuts kind of deck. You get an Authority, you get a Kambal, you get a Cliffhaven, and then you sit back and watch your opponent pick their poison. If Sorin doesn't show up, fine, but if he does the end game just accelerates. He's icing on the cake.

As for Essence Extraction, it's already in my maybeboard. I've been experimenting with it and I think it might be a good sideboard card against go-wide decks, but not as a main.

Hi, Just a suggestion, you have 2 copies of Biting Rain in the side board, but I think Flaying Tendrils is a much better card.

walnutsmbYeah, I just discovered that card a day or two ago, much better choice. I have no copies yet so I didn't add it to the deck. Thanks!
