Makes me want to build a B/W Tempo deck with Sorin, Lord of Innistrad .
A crazy threatening blocker and a prime target for early removal. A two drop that can't really be ignored if your opponent has a big permanent they want to keep around.

I'm actually surprised wizards would print this card. It seems far to easy to break.
You might give it Indestructibility with Darksteel Plate .
It might be as easy as slapping on Mask of Avacyn and suddenly your Izzet Staticaster is really, really overpowered. Three mana, practically Maelstrom Pulse on a stick. THis is standard we're talking about too.
Its better than Abrupt Decay , and in modern, or legacy, the possibilities are endless. It'll be no time before somebody breaks this.

I LOVE this card. And I mean alot. It's so flavorful of Orzhov and an incredibly strong 2 drop. can easily hang back and block late game probably taking out at least 4 other permanents in the process. Or it can swing in (probably unblocked) early game for an easy 1 damage. This makes them waste primo removal. I am definitely picking up a playset or 2 of these as soon as possible.
P.S.- he will always be called H-Pops by me
P.P.S- the only thing I hate is his art

He's instantly going in my Demon's souls deck as soon as I get some.

I have a playset of Isolated Chapel and 2x Sorin, Lord of Innistrad waiting to be thrown into a B/W deck. I'm hoping there will be a few good mono-white battalion creatures (or enchantments?) to throw in.
