Yet he isn't red. He isn't hasty. His plans take time. He's willing to wait. None of these are red traits.
And we haven't yet seen a WB walker. WOTC has shown us multiple times that they want to represent each color for each block.
Lorwyn-Shadowmoor: Ajani White, Jace Blue, Lili Black, Chandra Red, Garruk Green (Admittingly they only showed up in Lorwyn as a test, but the idea still stands)
Zendikar: Gideon White, Jace Blue, Sorin Black, Chandra Red, Nissa Green (Sarkhan was extra)
Scars: Elspeth White, Venser Blue, Tezz Black, Koth Red, Karn Green (Only slot left, and green ramps)
M10, M11, and M12 had this too.
That's SEVEN CONSECUTIVE blocks/core sets where each color is represented by a walker. Anyone claiming otherwise is ignorant of WOTC's basic business plan (which we've seen the pattern of) Also notice how any two color pair has never been repeated EVER, and you realize how idiotic a BR Sorin is.
Then again, Sorin may end up being the "extra" walker like Sarkhan the Mad, and not count for color representation, with a White Planeswalker either returning or a new character. In that case any case for Sorin's colors is pointless.

1) Just because someone's red doesn't mean they can't plan ahead. Case in point: Izolda, from Dissension, who's plans include mindcontrolling Rakdos and taking over the world. She's red, but that's her motivations, whereas black provides the planning in this case.
2) Karn is green?! What are you smoking? http://magiccards.info/query?q=!Karn+Liberated does not remind me of any green card I've seen in my life. I might have missed something, but direct removal/taking controll of your opponents assets seems more like blue/black rather than green.
I'd love it if all the people who were 'convinced' that Sorin will change colours would a) read this thread and b) realise that no, your 'astounding leap of logic' isn't an original thought, that it has been busted already, and just because you feel oh so special for coming up with the idea that it isn't inherently sacred.
Sorin will not change colours.
What's wrong with having two monoblack planeswalkers in the same set anyway? Just beacuse it has never happened before, doesn't mean it won't happen. DFCs, anyone?
Planeswalkers are not designed in cycles. They aren't designed the same way as regular cards at all.
Can we please stop beating a(n un)dead horse?
He "might" branch out into either of blacks allied colours, or he might stay mono, but I'll agree that it seems unlikely he'll hop over into white or green. As for http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=341425, the only thing that picture proves is that Sorin's on Innistrad, and that he's used his sword on someone/something.
Aside from the obvious need for a cohesive vision of what rules the multiverse operate under, I personally think that MtG needs to have the good guys, you know, win once in a while.
Scars is the third block in a row that has seen the heels walk away with the Tag-team titles.
That will probably be what victory boils down to: not wheter or not the Mirrans are stong enough to take on the Phyrexians mano-y-mano, but rather wheter the Preators can keep themselves from turning on eachother long enough to finish the Great Work.
Edit: Elesh-Norn is what TV Tropes defines as a Pettanko. Look it up.
Or WotC could extend the planeswalker novels into threepart series, wherein we get to see Jace, Chandra, Sarkhan an the rest of the Bradybunch interact with the world and characters that are introduced with the new expansion.
Why'd WotC abandon that approach to writing, anyway? It'd be nice to see how, say, Venser gets along with the Neurok and Elspeth tries to adapt to the Auriok/Sylvok's way of life. Koth could give a deeper insight into the Vulshok, and we could finish of the entire block with Mini-Urza evacuating Mirrodin/New Phyrexia as the Planeswalkers watch the plane forlornly as it disappears in the Aether.

Means we can safely conclude that, no, Lilianna did not frag Baron Sengir in that preview picture.

I always figured that's Karn, having finally given in to Phyrexia and being Compleated himself.
