Sorin Trivia Gift

New 29 Apr 2016 Asked by werewolfpresident 38 Comments

Howdy Mark! Any chance I can get some birthday trivia for Sorin, the plane's most reluctant host?


The ultimate on Sorin’s original planeswalker card (taking control of the opponent for a turn) was designed by me just not for Sorin. I designed the ultimate for Nicol Bolas to represent his puppet master qualities. Happy Birthday!

Hey Mark! Today is my birthday, so I was wondering if I could get some trivia on either Sorin Markov or Ojutai, please? Thanks!


Sorin’s ultimate on his first planeswalker card (the one that takes control of another player) was actually designed originally to be the ultimate on Nicol Bolas. I liked that it played into him being a puppet master. Happy Birthday!

Dragon Trivia

Yesterday was my birthday, and my trivia question got lost in the sea of questions you receive. Can I get any trivia on my favorite dragons, Nicol Bolas and Niv-Mizzet? Thanks for making Magic awesome!


If you ever want to see how far Magic has come, go look at the original Nicol Bolas art. What is Magic’s greatest puppet master up to? He’s kicking back in a chair reading books. : ) Compare that to his planeswalker art. Happy Birthday!

Nicol Bolas Ultimate

In the design of Nicol Bolas it was said you had an idea for an ultimate to be used later, has it been used yet? (If it has my guess is the Sorin LoI ultimate)


Yes, the ultimate I wanted to use for Nicol Bolas, the puppet master, was used on Sorin (the “take control of target player’s turn” ultimate).
