Shadows of innistrad (baseless speculation and spoilers)

[Kaylesh]

I'm playing devils advocate because I really want to play sorin I just need the confidence

Well, even only +1 into something like {desolation twin} seems worth the mana.

Or +1 into {defiant bloodlord}, next turn cast it and -7 something. That's 14 life gone, right there. Sultai ramp/vampires to pull it off before T7?

Sorin really isn't that strong he's only good if you're ahead on the board and if you're behind on the board he does almost nothing except become a 6 mana {Ruinous Path} idk just doesn't seem as worth as Elspeth who was an amazing 6 mana Walker! (Please reprint her 😔 lol)

Also that new demon land is sweet I'm going to try it with {Secure the Wastes}. I think it might be good enough to be the wincon of a control deck

I really do like some of the cards but we have only seen like 1/3 of the total cards. And of them we have seen alot of the mythics, sure there have been some great single cards but where is the theme, the flavor? Our first time to innistrad was home of 5, 2 colored groups. Humans/angels, spirits, zombies, vampires, werewolfs. And the last few sets were people V eldrazi, 5 dragon/khans. You could pick a side.

So far SOI seems to me like its evil avacyn vs sorin but we know how that has ended. I don't get the feel of werewolf packs, evil spirits, and zombie hoards. I really hope this feeling changes as the next 2/3's is shown.

I'm not really sure why you think it's just Avacyn vs Sorin. There is a bunch more going on lore and purely card wise. There have been 9 wolf / werewolf themed cards, spirits, zombies, Angels, demons, and plenty of vampires.
As far as lore goes, we know that Avacyn is killed by Sorin, Nahiri is pissed at Sorin, Liliana and her demon friends are up to no good, and that something is up with Jace and Tamiyo.
If you ask me, there are loads of ways this set could go as far as themed decks go (wolves, vampires, zombies, spirits, demons, or Angels).

We also have 200 cards ish to go

[Mattao19]

Plus the possibility still of Emrakul hahaha it's becoming less and less likely everyday lol but I can still dream!

[DirtyMustachio]

If Emmy is here it's in set 2

[LinkCelestrial]

The werewalker's story is pretty solid and I'm intrigued to see how she ties into everything.

There's Sorin vs Avacyn then there's Avacyn's followers vs werewolfs, vampires and zombies.

[imFourth of Phils]

guess Emrakul will be in Eldritch Moon, cuz Jace is looking for clues what happened in Innistrad

[Spencer Addington]

Will harness the storm see any play in storm? It seems better than past in flames.

Card ehh.   Flavor text = great story insight

[InfinitiveDivinity]

They made a way better {Unbreathing Horde}. Damn {Diregraf Colossus}! You cray cray!

[Thefluffymacheen]

New red spoiler with artwork that almost looks like Sorin being killed.  If it is, possibly Nahiri's doing?

[redwolv]

No way is that sorin. Its just a random vampire.

No way is that sorin. Its just a random vampire.

It looks like the old Sorin just without his chest piece. But don't get me wrong, I don't want it to be Sorin.

apparently the translation is as such:

Burn From Within
XR
Sorcery
Burn from Within deals X damage to target creature or player. If a creature is dealt damage this way, it loses indestructible until end of turn. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

Basically, a Sorcery-speed burn spell that bypasses indestructible.
