What it does

+1: Target creature you control gains deathtouch and lifelink until end of turn. If it's a Vampire, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

+1: You may sacrifice a Vampire. When you do, Sorin deals 3 damage to any target and you gain 3 life.

−3: You may put a Vampire creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-01-24

    If the target of the reflexive triggered ability is an illegal target as that ability tries to resolve, it doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain 3 life.

  • 2025-01-24

    You don’t choose a target for Sorin’s second ability at the time you activate it. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you sacrifice a Vampire this way. You choose a target for this ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

  • 2025-01-24

    Multiple instances of deathtouch and/or lifelink on the same creature are redundant.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord

7 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
