LSV announced on his Twitter account that he'll be the one to spoil Arlin on the 15th and Sorin on the 17th. He also implies that Arlin is indeed a double faced card.
Didn't see this posted anywhere so I thought I should spread the word.

GBR May the Jund'ish side of the Force be with you! GBR
ow little bit hyped..
I hope they stick to the little bit of lore on Arlin.
That she can transform back and forth at will..
maybe 0 cost ability on both sides so possible 4 abilities.. or more plausible a side effect of one of the other abilities
dunno about sorin.. i liked all other ones.. just hope they give us another nice one.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
We're getting 3, which is the face packs. And probably 2 more in Eldritch Moon. Lili is the face pic of the promo ad, so that's a shoo-in. The other's a toss up between Nahiri and Tamiyo.
It's more likely to be Sorin, Jace and Arlin in shadows and Nahiri + Liliana in Moon. Tamiyo probably left the plane (I hope she did D:)
Well, based solely on art, Tamiyo will be around to witness Avacyn's End, so depending on whether that happens at end of SOI or Moon, I think that determines her presence in the block.
Similarly, Nahiri looks like she's largely done with the actual destruction she's caused the place (everything else on horror theories seem to be also already set in motion), she might either leave or stay on the plane (depending on reasons) because Sorin is around.

What do you mean by that? Is there some piece of art showing Tamiyo? If so I want to see it I've only see her mentioned for her journal and Jace's investigation.
Nahiri on the other end seem to still be at work in warped landscape using the plane's mana for "something", I would expect her to be the main antagonist and maybe what causes Liliana to return in Moon.
Sorin, Disappointed Father 2WB
+1: Tap target non-Vampire creature.
0: Put a 2/2 black vampire token with flying onto the battlefield.
-6: Destroy target non-Vampire creature. If that creature is Avacyn, the Purifier, your opponent must say "Father, why does it hurt?" or your opponent loses the game.

Will we get another creature based Sorin or back to life/player based Sorin

Don't forget Tybalt! Now only one red mana!
Tybalt the Spark that Ignites
+1: This ability does nothing.
-2: Target Opponent gets an emblem with "At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose one life."
Loyalty 1.
i love announcing announcements! hype train chuggachuggachoochoo!
...but no in all seriousness who gives a *****. its like them saying "we'll spoil cards!" and for some reason we're supposed to be hyped about something that... well they were already going to do. this is why their spoilers aren't as effective as they could be. its too much hype around announcing hype.

This would probably be decent in standard, if nothing else. How many other one drops can get in 6-8 damage(without any additional cards). Would also blend in perfectly with prowess and surge

Yea, that annoys many of us. Thats a Fantasy world. They could do soo much.
Id like Sorin to utilize his Signature Power. Sangromancy
Sorin, the Sangromancer 3WB - 5 Loyality
+1 Put a 2/2 Vampire Creature Token with Flying onto the battlefield.
0 Until end of turn, Creatures you Control get +1/+0, Lifelink & Menace.
-X Sorin, the Sangromancer deals X damage, devided as you choose, among any number of target creature/s an ópponent controls & you gain X Life.
+1 Suits him very well. Especially as something as a Vampire Lord.
0 With this Sorin provides the gift of his tribe to others. Maybe in the way of biting others to turn them into Vampires ? d:D
-X A Sangromancer should have an ability revolving around his true Powers.

Aparently we get Jace every block and core set. This sucks the most for all other blue planeswlkers.
We got two simic Kiora almost back to back.
There was a crazy stretch of RG planeswalkers
Now we get another Sorin, who will makes tokens and be BW. Great? I guess
I didn't forget, but unfortunately, I think you're right.
We have like 6-8 planeswalker characters in this block; one of them doesn't always HAVE to be Jace, Wizards!

Honestly, I think a reprint of Sorin, Lord of Innistrad would be fine with me.
