I've updated the list quite a bit. Rn I've sideboarded Kambal, Consul of Allocation in favor of Timely Reinforcements, as those help stabilize the board state quite a bit better and can be subbed out for Kambal when needed. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar has also become the wincon, and a playset of him edged out Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord. After some good advice, Oath of Kaya has been sideboarded (and may be dropped) to run a mainboard Mortify, which will become more useful as Blood Moon becomes more common and I need to float mana to take it out.

lagotripha Thanks for the comment!
I see your point, and Blood Baron of Vizkopa can be a good closer, but I feel it would be a better sideboard card. I feel as though the Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord argument is kind of the same as it is for Liliana, the Last Hope , neither really affects board state immensely--however Sorin combos well with Gideon, Ally of Zendikar . My thoughts were to board in Liliana, the Last Hope when going up against Humans or something else tribal, as her abilities beyond +1 also don't do as much. Both her an Sorin can be useful if I board in Tidehollow Sculler . I just like the stabilizing power of Sorin. Would you still disagree here?

and could you expand upon whats up with Oath of Kaya ? It seems like a great stabilizer, particularly when my big wincons are in Gideons.

Depending on meta, Blood Baron of Vizkopa is a decent wincon- he dodges most removal.
I'm not a fan of sorin or oath- I'd likely move the sideboard lilis mainboard and run more reinforcements in the sideboard. Sorin doesn't have enough creature targets, and oath is an expensive lightning helix without enough upside.
