He has average health, high mana gains with a very unbalanced spread, and average deck limits. His bonus to black is tied for first with Liliana, Untouched by Death; at +7, their bonus is very high, but tied for third with many other Planeswalkers, behind Koth and Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh.
The theme of his abilities is Vampire creatures. He can buff them, Fetch them, turn other creatures into Vampires, and sacrifice them to drain life from a target.
Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is the second of three playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Sorin Markov at different points in his life.

Story
Thousands of years ago, famine forced the alchemist Edgar Markov into dark experiments. Making a deal with the demon Shilgengar for the secrets of sangromancy, Edgar created a blood ritual which granted agelessness and the ability to subsist on blood.
When Edgar anointed his grandson, Sorin, with the same vampiric state, the trauma of the transformation caused Sorin's planeswalker spark to ignite.
