Yes, this story was nice. It's always interesting to get some backstory for the legendary creatures. Although something tells me that we won't see Jacob on a card in this set.
I think I've just given up on the main stories. In a PW story, the whole second part of the story would've just been one paragraph of Kaya slicing and dicing some ghosts. The setting just feels so much more believable when the protagonists aren't interdimensional super wizards that have to fulfill some marketing-mandated badass quota.
And now we know who the "character returning, but as a vampire now" is...
Interesting, according to original Innistrad lore about vampire "condition of blood", they must have bitten Odric first with a drop of their own blood, and after a month Odric would have to again drink blood of his "sire" vampire.
But maybe Odric is strong enough and he transcended the condition (as Sorin would say )
Nice story from Sorin's pov and a look to his complex and long history with his family.
Also confirms that Domnathi is one of the minor bloodlines who is known to hang out with demons and Henrika is the head of the Domnathi and possible the progenitor.
“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Makes sense Sorins big goal was always taking care of Innistrad and by extension vampirse and as this shows root of his care is Edgar and rest of his family. I also get the impression Sorin even pre-Avacyn wasn't the most well liked with the family even though he does care for them.

however.... there's no way edgar is not faking it based on his reaction to awakening infact sorin got spooked a little by his chosen words of waking up.
I really enjoyed Sorin's parts of that story. Unlike some of the revisits we've had the previous trips really add to the story here. We know the depth of his ties to the plane and seeing him become emotional doesn't feel jarring like it could have. It feels earned here.

the werewolves/wolves did the exact same thing Olivia did in midnight hunt
they ended it/stopped it and arlin… let’s just say she may be avenging katilda's death and to say my condolences to Olivia fans.
It kills me it wasn't sorin who yells “I OBJECT!” It was Arlin before he even got a chance to say it.
Sorin already effectively tried to say "I OBJECT!" in Episode 2 by angrily trying to approach the wedding stage, only to get denied in a sustained fashion.

I guess that’s true didn't see him say the words though
All we got was hi pleading his grandpa to not do this.

So Olivias true plot was to marry Edgar, get an artifact of moon silver and use both in a ritual with Sigarda to take control of the angels of Innistrad. I did get worried (even knowing Sigarda was gonna be ok) since I had forgotten the original vampires had been born from drinking the blood of an angel.
We also learn (I believe) that Sorin was unwillingly turned into a vampire.
I delight that in the end Olivia is getting Comeuppance for Midnight Hunt. She could have gotten something else but by insisting on taking the key and bringing eternal night it let Katlindas ghost right and free Sigarda, with Sorin giving them the moment they needed by attacking Olivia. Nice way to have all three forces who hate Olivia have a hand in taking her down.

Today’s story was the first of the latest Innistrad stories (so far) to not have pacing issues.
The story was good though it didn’t seem to explain why Chandra ‘dressed to kill’ in a formal gown.
If she (as a +1 or small cadre) accompanied Sorin at the festivities in the barely hidden guise of ‘witnessing’ the occasion, then I could be convinced of the change in appearance.
But that’s not what happened, nor has it been explained why or how she got the dress.
If anything, she’s about to lead a bunch of human allies and soldiers into battle.
I mean, who does that IN HEELS??

Wizards. listen. The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.
