@ RadMan323: Why not? Maybe because once you activate Sorin's ultimate after he enters the battlefield, the six loyalty counters are removed as a cost, before you could target him to get him back. A planeswalker with 0 loyalty counters is put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action. So basically, there's no "infinite" combo.
If you want a repeatable loyalty ability combo, I suggest Jace, Architect of Thought with Doubling Season and Wheel of Sun and Moon.

I really wanted to get this for my B/W deck, along with Gatecrash's Orzhov stuff. Hopefully this version will be in the Soryn Vs. Tibalt deck.

I run Black Red is it worth getting rid of red and replacing with white for this?

Regarding the plan to get infinite ultimates from Sorin's ability: it can actually be done but some people here are overcomplicating it.
Part 1: Have Sorin out and have a continous effect making him a creature. (ie: march of the machines and mycosynth lattice)
Part 2: Have 2 copies of doubling season on the battlefield.
Part 3: Activate Sorin's ultimate, targetting himself and any other planeswalkers. (Sorin can target himself because it specifies other planeswalkers but not other creatures, naturally making him a valid target if he's a creature.) He then reenters the battlefield with 12 loyalty due to the doubling seasons. Because he left then reentered the battlefield he is considered a new permanent and can activate another loyalty ability, preferably his ulti repeating this process.
This allows for infinite ETB and infinite loyalty activations for any other planewalkers. INFINITY!

"Do ya smell what Sorin is cookin'?"
I've had this guy rotating as my desktop wallpaper for over a year, and only now do I realize that he's giving the people's eyebrow. Kinda hard to tell when you're an albino vampire, though.

@DarthParallex
Lets make this work.
Experiment Kraj
Sorin
Mycosynth Lattice
March of the Machines
Zameck Guildmage
2x doubling season
Random other stuff
Step 1: Activate the first ability of Zamek
Step 2: Cast Sorin, he has a +1/+1 counter
Step 3: Use Sorin to bounce Kraj, and the random other stuff
Step 4: They return, Kraj is at 12 loyalty
Step 5: Kraj bounces Sorin and the random other stuff
Step 6: Sorin has 12 loyalty, bounce Kraj
Repeat! :D
And it is perfectly legal!
Edit: You don't need the Guildmage or the Kraj. If he is a creature, he can bounce himself.

This card can be the most difficult plainswaker to deal with, his defensive measure is very powerful if you summon him early on, meanwhile, your giving your opponent health every time you attack (or attempt to) sorin, his low cost makes him very formidable.

re: Sorin's ability to create 1/1 black vampires with lifelink (Sorin's first ability at +1).
Who can receive the +1 Life from these lifelinks? Is it the player, or Sorin himself, or either?
