Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
+1: Target creature you control gains deathtouch and lifelink until end of turn. If it's a Vampire, put a +1/+1 counter on it. +1: You may sacrifice a Vampire. When you do, Sorin deals 3 damage to any target and you gain 3 life. −3: You may put a Vampire creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.
How it works : Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If the target of the reflexive triggered ability is an illegal target as that ability tries to resolve, it doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain 3 life.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Multiple instances of deathtouch and/or lifelink on the same creature are redundant.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
You don’t choose a target for Sorin’s second ability at the time you activate it. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you sacrifice a Vampire this way. You choose a target for this ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
No other card is named in this ruling.
