Sorin: The Deck (Casual)

A deck designed to be as Sorin as possible. Filled to the brim with cards named after Sorin, featuring Sorin in their art, and talking about or quoting Sorin in their flavour text.

It's a vampire-themed monoblack control deck. Keep the board clear with Sorin's Thirst, Barter In Blood, and Gatekeeper of Malakir, then win with Bloodline Keeper or Sorin Markov.

The Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond combo is in there because why not. One copy of each means you won't draw the combo often, but the cards are fine individually.

Not sure how I feel about playing Charcoal Diamond. I suspect Mind Stone would usually be better. But the diamond feels Sorin-ier.

I didn't intend for this to be an expensive deck, but it seems that some of these cards suffer from EDH-related price inflation. Ah well.

Sideboard should be set up to handle creatureless decks, which blank a lot of the cards in here.

Sorin also has a white-black aggro deck in him, and I strongly considered building it instead of this. Went with the control plan mainly because Vampires are almost all in black.

Feedback is welcome, but please do keep the theme in mind.
