This deck is all about controlling the field with enchantments and spells until you can start bringing out your planeswalkers, once they reach the field the whole deck revolves around choosing what creature will be on the top of the deck when you activate Sorin, Grim Nemesis +1. That is what Kozilek and Ulamog are in here for, those are the cards you want to be revealing and there are two ways to achieve this. One being with Conduit of Ruin which will allow you to pull the card out of your deck, shuffle, and then put that card on top, if they have nothing to mill it out then when you activate Sorin right after they take 10 damage. Once you have these heavy hitters in your hand you want to discard them to your graveyard with Nahiri's +2 and then when you have more than 2 creature cards in your graveyard use gravepurge to put all those creatures back onto the top of your library making sure one of the heavy mana cost creatures are the second card since you have to draw a card after it resolves, then activate Sorin again with the high mana cost creature now on top of your deck. Rinse and repeat as needed using Dark Petition to pull out the cards you need if you do not have them by the time you need to be casting them. Another win condition is Deceiver of Form which uses the same strategy making sure you have at least another creature on the table before revealing the top card which will be a heavy hitter turning any other creatures on the table into a copy of that card, then attack. It also allows you to keep that card on top of your library so as a secondary strike during main phase 2 you can activate Sorin's +1 and do the damage pulling the card into your hand. So you get double the damage on the same turn. For the other planeswalkers Chandra provides tokens that can be made before combat therefore also gaining the effects of Deceiver and with haste. Its has good control in the X column, and provides a sac outlet to put more creatures in your graveyard from your hand so when you get a gravepurge it will be able to act as you need it to, plus I like planeswalkers. Ob Nix is just plain awesome, Draw factor, control factor, and then if you get to his emblem you can use him in conjunction with Nahiri's +2 and Chandra's 0 to end the game in one turn with 2 damage everytime you draw a card if you can maintain a good handsize, plus I like planeswalkers but I think I already said that. With Oath of Gideon, you not only get tokens that will play well with Deceiver or as chump blockers and give all your planeswalkers an additional loyalty counter as soon as they enter the field.

Sideboard is kinda standard and probably could use some work. Languish is going to stay just in case I come across any situation where they are producing tokens and such and I need a board wipe before I get my walkers out and the single spells can't handle it. Grasp of Darkness is a pretty popular wipe card now-a-days and I can see why at 2 cost for -4/-4 pretty good basically a one creature languish. White weenie and white humans are popular so I put in rending volley to deal with them. To The Slaughter: I'll be keeping my creatures and walkers but I am not going to let you do the same. Immolating Glare is just cheap destruction so it got a place in there.

Hope you like my deck idea and I am open to idea's.
