Today's card previews have brought us a W/B {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}, i'd like to share with you something of his former self:
Ever minipulate someone's every action, only to find that they're boring? They don't have any interesting choices to make? When using Sorin's mind-controlling (or {Mindslaver}ing) ability to take over your pal's turn, why not give them a chance to make some really bad decisions? Too many questions?
{Sorin Markov} + {Vedalken Orrery} + {Pain's Reward}
You: You want to bid how much life?
You (as Them): I want those cards! I'll bid 10,000 life!
You: Well, okay. I won't try to out bid you.
You (as Them): Yay! *die*
Feel free to enact your opponent's actions with hand puppets (as I do). Just don't try to actually use them as hand-puppets, that's unsanitary.
Lol nice cant you also use that card from besieged mind slave or something it's an artifact

Yes, you could also use {Mindslaver} (that's why I mentioned it in the article. ;) ).

Not well it seems from my first post
I don't think the mind slaver would work because of the difference in text from sorins ability. If you only control their turn I don't think that you'd get to bid for them. However control target player during their turn is another story. Beautiful combo
Both abilities have you make all choices for them. ðŸ'

If you read the ultimate of the M12 {Sorin Markov}, it reads different than the Zendikar one and is actually a lot more like {Mindslaver}. They have the same effect.
The new wording for Sorin makes more sense. You control the player, you can't really control a turn.
If you want to make this Standard, give them control of a {Spellskite}.

Sounds good, but there's no more {Bazaar Trader} in Standard. How would you give it to them?
Edit: {Spellskite} also requires a spell that targets a permanent. Why not one of the cheap common Souleaters from new Phyrexia? {Pestilent Souleater}

Yeah. Those would work too.
