Sorin Duel Deck

I got a lot of positive feedback for the M13: Nicol Bolas Intro Decklist, so Im having a go at this upcoming Magic product: the Sorin vs. Tibalt Duel Deck due out March 15th, 2013.

Ive seen some feedback already for this product that says it doesnt make sense in the same way that Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas or Garruk vs. Liliana made sense. I think these two just highlight what the WOTC designers wanted to get out of the Innistrad blocks horror themes. Plus everyone wants to get their hands on a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and they also had to show a reason why Tibalt shouldnt become the least effective and cheapest planeswalker to buy at your local card shop. That's just my own speculation.

Regardless of their reasons to duel, designing Sorin vs. Tibalt seemed like a nice deck-building exercise. Like The Nicol Bolas Intro Decklist, I want to create their decks in exactly the same way WOTC publishes them, which means Im limiting myself to just the one mythic-rare card in the respective planeswalkers, 5 rare cards, anywhere from 10 to 23 uncommon cards (based on the three most recent duel decks), and no less than 24 lands. Plus, the duel decks dont contain many copies of the same card unless that card fits thematically like having two of Ajani's Pridemate in his deck, or if the card helps solidify a mana base or card draw like two of the Obelisk of Grixis for Nicol Bolas or two Preordains for Venser.

Heres what I came up with...
