In M12 we have a card called Sorin's Vengeance. But what make me interest is that Repay in Kind. It proved that Sorin really have a enemy.
And who is he/she? Look at the flavor text, it took Sorin "for centuries" to be ready, so it has happened before Mending -- Sorin is still that powerful oldwalker! Who can provoke him so much, and also too powerful for Sorin to revenge at once??
For all these reasons, I think the Sorin's Vengeance's unlucky guy is not the final target of Sorin, he looks just like a mortal. but I think he maybe is a stage goal.
I have been guess that Sorin want to avenge Ugin...but the WotC says no, Sorin didn't exactly know Ugin's death before Tarkir.
What do you think? Does WotC already forget this line?
Sorin is a male, to begin. He's several thousands of years old, and he never knew about Ugin Schrödinger's cat. In Tarkir 1.0, he found out that Ugin died, but when Sarkhan did the time thing, he ended up arriving at Tarkir to find Ugin alive. It's nothing forgotten, just that the first timeline was overwritten and nobody remembers it, save for Sarkhan.
The bits of flavor text on those cards simply reflect Sorin's long life, his patience, and different perspective on mortality.
But my dictionary said that a vengeance is for some justical reason...
It is. Vengeance is a means of carrying out justice. Justice is defined by the individual who has been wronged. I don't think the cards were meant for any real story purpose. I mean Sorin is millenia old. I'm sure a cocky, morally flexible vampire like Sorin who has been floating about the multiverse for thousands of years has pissed off a few people and been pissed off by a few as well.

Yes, Sorin was a pre-Mending 'walker, but because he lived through the Mending his power was diminished. He's not nearly the godlike being he once was: all walkers who lived through the Mending were rendered mortal. Bolas has been running dozens of gambits to try and recapture his old power, Liliana struck her deals with the demons to retain her youth and immortality, Ugin was in a coma but eventually he'll realize "huh, this doesn't feel right", Sorin's still effectively immortal because he's a vampire, but he's also now subject to his vampiric hunger again.
I imagine Sorin has a lot of enemies, especially on Innistrad and Zendikar, where he is known as a betrayer to some. They're just not specific. I think the idea is that he's always plotting, not that he has a specific singular enemy.
As much as we're seeing his more nicecaringresponsible side on his storylines, Sorin is mainly a hedonistic bon vivant being that literally eats people as food. He's six or seven thousand years old and frequently searching for pleasure and diversion just so he doesn't get too bored, so conflicts are certainly counted on the hundreds through his time. Those cards are meant to show us that aspect of him, not represent any single specific instance of that.
The only thing he appears to truly care about is his home plane. So he creates Avacyn to keep balance there, and does what he can to keep the Eldrazi sealed just so they won't go eating Innistrad eventually. They also not eating those other planes where he finds pleasure and diversions is just a nice plus.

You don't get my point, we know the Mending is 4505 but now is 4607, and "centuries" means more than 100 years. So it's happen time is surely before his power was diminished.

Yes, I think Sorin's only consider thing is Innistrad. (And hard to accept that he will go with others, well I'm meaning Nahiri...
