He has very low health and average deck limits with a strong focus on Creatures. He has good mana gains in his colors, and neutral in the rest.

His abilities, all of which depend on the number of creatures in play, have a life gain theme, including gaining life and a small mana boost per creature, creating a support TokenToken which gains life when his creatures attack, and creating another support TokenToken which permanently buffs his creatures' Power when he gains life. The second and third abilities are considerably more powerful than the first, which is transitory; they pay out benefits turn after turn. But they are also a little expensive compared to other Planeswalkers.

Sorin, Grim Nemesis is the first of three playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Sorin Markov at different points in his life.

Story

“Death not for survival but for vanity and pleasure? This is the decadence I sought to curb.”
"Sorin Markov is a Planeswalker, and though his family no longer welcomes him, he has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect his home plane. Over the centuries after the birth of their race, the vampires of Innistrad grew increasingly disdainful of humanity and hunted them ever more boldly. As Sorin watched through the years, he saw that as the vampires’ power increased, human villages dwindled, so he created the archangel Avacyn and established a religion around her, incorporating magical wards that would give her followers protection against the horrors of the night."
