Vampiric Commander
Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord brings immediate board impact and midrange pressure to black builds. Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord lets you bolster a blocker into a lethal trade with deathtouch and lifelink while rewarding Vampire tribal decks by granting a +1 counter when your creature is a Vampire. The first +1 is a tight tempo play that turns combat math in your favor and stabilizes life totals in grindy matches.
The second +1 converts sacrificial plays into card neutral removal and life gain by letting you sacrifice a Vampire to deal three damage to any target and gain three life. The minus three ability bypasses conventional casting by putting a Vampire from your hand directly onto the battlefield, enabling combos or surprise threats. This Innistrad Remastered printing is a solid pick for collectors and players who want a playable planeswalker in light play condition.
