I wish Deathcap Cultivator's creature type became Human Druid Fungus when delirium was achieved.
Sorin looks amazing. 6 cmc is kinda rough, but it shouldn't matter too too much.
Whoa, that Sorin is strong. Sure, 6 mana, but you could be ditching a ton of damage while up-ticking him. And that starting loyalty is crazy high. (Wizards seems to have latched mostly on having CMC=loyalty, lately.) I know WB isn't the type of deck that currently plays Ulaog and its kind, plus you could reveal a land and deal zero, but that's one PW you don't want to stick around.
Cultivator is nice. We know we can't expect 1 CMC mana dork anymore, so at least this one is full of upsides. (B mana + deathtouch)
EDIT: life swing + CA on uptick... Sorin will be played.
EDIT2: how can people be disappointed in the mana dork? It's 2 power for 2 mana, with mana production and potential deathtouch. It's good. Really good and a limited power-house.
Ugly art, but extremely powerfull. Altough 6 mana makes sorin almost impossible to be modern playable, in stardart if any B/W midrange/control deck become viable, it might become a powerhouse. (His plus one seems really bonkers)
As many pointed out, what is up with that rarity? From common to rare???
Why not just print 200 blank cards and 97 rares/mythics and just play with those instead since all removal spells, lands and now even ramp are rare. They keep talking about the power creep being a problem, how about the power rarity? When even the most basic of cards becomes expensive due to their rarity. And they wonder why people shy away from playing this game when they keep increasing the price of entry... outrageous...

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I really like the Deathcap Cultivator, just because I already have a deck that I can put him in.
Sorin, Death Nemesis looks fun, but planeswalkers w/ a cc of 6 or greater are just a drag to bring out. Wonder if their are any ways the cheat in planeswalker's for less mana.
Oh joy, not only another PW who is too high cmc to be played post rotation, but it's a be Sorin to boot. What a snooze fest. If he can't be mono black, at least make him Rakdos or Mardu, he has to be pissed with the world at this point!

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
So this trend of making mana dorks that produce more than one type of mana rare is annoying. Seriously, being able to add B with possible deathtouch should not qualify as rare.
I do enjoy the new Sorin. The more I think about it, the better he seems.

Man, Nahiri's PW art sucked up all the awesome for PW art this set. I mean we saw this on the booster packaging, but seeing it on the card Im not at all impressed with Sorin or Jace. Arlinn is ok I guess..
Like I said, Nahiri is the only really awesome one.
Abilities-wise though, this guy is a six mana HOUSE!

Mr. Mushroom seems solid. Not terribly exciting, but almost always okay to draw. And I do like some B/G.
Feel free to tell me yours!
2 Mana rare mana dork is 2 mana rare mana dork. He isn't exciting but he's incredibly playable.
Sorin looks amazing. 6 cmc is kinda rough, but it shouldn't matter too too much.

Sorin is certainly different, and I like him. 6 cmc is a bit high, but he is definitely strong for it.

Daaamn. Sorin's out for blood this time. Oh, he's going to be fun in Commander.

Sylvyn Caryatid made sense as a rare. But this?

Sorin is really good.

How the hell this uyg is a RARE?
Soon Elvish Mystic will be bumped to rare aswell.Actually i woudn't be suprised if he actually gets bumped to uncomon.This is really stupid
On the flip side, Declaration in Stone can exile all his tokens.
