What does soul bonding do?  How does it affect the cards?

When a creature ETB, you can have it bind to a creature with soulbond. One of the creatures in the pair must have an ability, but both can. As long as both remain on the battlefield, they both get the effects granted by the bond, ex. {wolfrir silverheart} bound to a {trusted forcemage} =+5/+5 for both creatures.

Would they attack together and block together?  Can a spell destroy just one of the creatures or would it destroy them "both".  Divine verdict.

They can but don't have to. It's like your buddy saying they have your back, they don't have to punch the guy with you, but they are there to support you regardless. Did that help?

If you bonded pathbreaker wurm with say a vorstclaw would they both have 13,11 (pathbreaker is 6.4 and vorstclaw is 7.7)

Can you soul bond something with shroud? Is it a targeting effect?
