I like it as a throwback to Vicious Hunger. Works for a vampire.
oh well then i think it should be +3 so you can do it the turn after it comes into play. Then he won't survive after his ultimate, none of the other planewalkers survive after their ultimate so i don't think sorin should.
Haha! I love that you were attentive enough to catch Glimmervoid, but not to catch that the subject of the photo is totally not a dude.

I love this guy but the 6 casting cost realy turn me down.No matter who powerfull his ability are he have to shine A LOT for 6 mana, and by shine a lot i mean freaking dominate the board position and kill by himself.
Well, his first ability alone can do both of those things. Perhaps not by himself, but he will win you game if you can give him even a marginal amount of support. I mean, you're playing black. You should be able to keep the board clean so he doesn't just get attacked into, and he can even defend himself with his first ability if there are little guys left to clean up. Did I mention that this ability hits players and kills them, too? It would be just gravy if his second ability put any sort of creature on the board.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Sorin is of a fifth rarity, rarer than mythic rare, and that we'll find out about it as the final reveal as a flashy way of showing it off.
I know Chandra Ablaze is a mythic rare, and I hope I'm wrong, but it still could be true.
They NEED to print a functional reprint of Dark Ritual with an additional life payment cost. Black needs fast mana bad, since it currently can't race with efficient burn and weenies.
They were probably referring to the fact that MaRo said Bolas had a different Ultimate in development, but it seemed to easy to recover from, so they saved for a Zendikar 'walker.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I'm hoping the second ability is barter in blood (each players sacs 2 creatures). . . not sure whether that meshes w/ vampire flavor, but what can you do.
Dance of the Dead/Puppeteer Clique. Bringing back from the dead for one turn is clearly still in Black's flavor, and very much worth it on a 6cmc Planeswalker. It's + ability could just be cold/irrelevant against a lot of decks, so a powerful - minus ability is needed to make sure it's versatile enough to be played.

He will only come in foils.. and as rare as rare foils...
I am with the "opponent discards, you draw" second ability as a very nice vampiric ability. Great flavor for Vampire Planeswalker.
+2 Extirpate
-3 Promise of Power (entwined)
-7 For the remainder of the game you may play cards in your graveyard as though they were in your hand. If a card would be put into your graveyard, exile that card instead.
I'm not sure if this is really broken or not but as a black mage I'd love to see this.
His first ability makes it a good control card... (a better) douse in gloom every turn.
BTW.. was this the Bolas ultimate?

Also i think he should have an infest ability.
No, Here is Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker: http://magiccards.info/autocard.php?card=nicol%20bolas,%20planeswalker

simple, nice.
that final ability is a nice glammer, makes sense for a vamp

No way. Considering he's a turn 6 play thatwould be a bad ability late game.

Vampiric Ritual B
Instant
Add BBB to your mana pool.
Cards named Vampiric Ritual may only be played once per turn.
If they print this I think MonoB would be back. With Sorin leading the army of darkness!
-2: Gain control of target non-black creature and put a -1/-1 counter on it. It becomes black and a vampire.
Or something like that?

Neh, that'd be good - but I expect something more vampire flavored.
Thanks to PurpleD from Left Play Designs for the banner:D
Haha good call
I think it would have to be red, or have a split B/R mana cost. Adding mana to the pool is generally red nowadays.

A couple few Bairns and Sorin could potentially lock an opponent out of a game, especially with Sen Triplets.
Assume you have Sorin, Sen Triplets, and three Gilder Bairns in play and you just Mindslavered a turn and Sorin has 1 loyalty
Attack with three bairns, activate all three abilities, 1 doubles to 2, 2 doubles to 4, 4 doubles to 8, bam, -7 for another Slavered turn.
Unlikely to ever be done, but it is hilarious.

Looks like it's not going to happen
