Oh God yes, I love this guy. This is the best situation of course but...
Turn 3, Liliana, discard him or Unburial Rites.
Turn 4, discard him or Unburial Rites, flashback Unburial Rites with Isolated Chapel bringing back 'ol Griselbrand, draw 7 cards, GG.
Sorin has always been my personal favorite for planeswalkers. I love this version so much more than the original. Pumping out a blocker is great, the ultimate is pretty awesome, but a token deck built around his -2 ability will be ridiculous. That's what's going to win games.
This is a pretty awesome card, I'm definitely interested in building a deck around this. W/B Demons eating Humans looks like an archetype in the near future and this gives it some extra draw power to either find those humans or whatever else you may need.
I really like Altar and what it does. I have a B/U/G graveyard/flashback Innistrad block deck as one of my decks, and I feel that this and Increasing Confusion are going to give it a lot more flavor and power. I'm pretty excited.
And Increasing Devotion has me interested in building my own token deck. There honestly hasn't been a card so far that has been completely terrible. In the right situation to the right people, they're all useful.
I'm hoping that WOTC sticks to this trend of cards that are mostly useful only to certain archetypes. If there are a bunch of different kinds of competitive decks running around instead of a few over-powered types, the game would be much more interesting and well rounded, and people could competitively play with what they wanted to play with, as opposed to what is the most versatile and tournament worthy, which is why I don't even play in tournaments to begin with.
I have to agree with pandafarmer,This card is ridiculous. Sure, it might be something fun to add to mill your opponent, but put it the right graveyard/flashback deck and this card is monumental. Splinterfright/Spider Spawning just got a new best friend.

I'm going to pull this off at some point.
Just did the same, and agreed. *bro fist*
