People call him homeless. To that I say he builds his own home. And unlike other cards, odds are his house will be a sturdy one.

"Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!"
For some reason, the J apanese version of this card has vastly superior art... ;-)
More seriously, it's a shame they decided to cut off one of the coolest parts of this artwork-
the frame is blocking the white magic he's conjuring at his fingertip.
It looks really nice with the black wisps surrounding it, and it's part of his flavor now, as well.
As for the card, well... he rocks. The colors aren't for everyone, but he's a very solid pick.
As an Esper player, I've been wanting a good {W/B} PW for ages,
and Sorin does not disappoint!

Wow, I really actually like this, and I'm usually really skeptical about new planeswalkers (I still say Gideon wasn't that great beyond his middle ability). Much like Old Ajani, I gotta say most of power looks like it's in his middle ability - that emblem is NUTS.

his first ability coupled with bloodline keeper makes me want to revive my love for malakir bloodwitch and sanguine bond. as long as no ones running maelstrom pulse and echoing truth you could devastate opponents quickly.

Wow, no comments yet? Sorin 2.0 is definitely really good. His first ability=awesome, his emblem is really underrated, and his last...damn! I think he is really solid, and expect a resurgence of W/B tokens (maybe with a splash of Green or Blue for Gavony Township or Moorland Haunt). But very nice to see an enemy color planeswalker, and a non-broken one, too!
5/5

Only the second planeswalker to create emblems that stack, after Venser, the Sojourner. On the power of this card and various other useful spells, black/white tokens should be a powerful force in the upcoming Standard season.

I think a lot of people are angry about the {W} mana cost because it makes it sound like he sparkles. Don't worry, he doesn't. He's still an immense badass who's willing to stab someone to a wall when magic doesn't work.

Alucard? Shouldn't you be figuring out what happened to Richter?

I always knew he wasn't your typical ALL BLACK kind of planeswalker, just take a look at the flavor text of Day of Judgment (Zendikar edition). It's not explicit but you can see he's not a total mad-man like...Nicol Bolas?
