    Yeah Sorin is a powerful planeswalker, and probably the only planeswalker we are going to see for a while still that can rock black/white with color restrictions

    Expect Kaya in RNA
    You think so?? :D

    She's on the play mat for the RNA Pro Tour and wasn't in the Planeswalker Decks from RNA, leaving her to be available in RNA.

    Dovin and Domri are the planeswalker deck walkers and will also be in the set. We know this because of how they’re setting up the guild leaders. Guilds aligned with Bolas are lead by planeswalkers. Kaya was actually the only one that could be pulled to lead the Orzhov as Sorin is still being a wallflower on innistrad.

    We know only that that is the story they're telling for Ravnica and Bolas. Them also being in the set is still speculation. It's very good speculation but it's not a guarantee. For all we know they could go ahead and make some of the walkers in the actual set be members of the Gatewatch while pointing at the Planeswalker decks and going "See, Dovin and Domri are there!". 

    Kaya on the other hand is on the actual RNA packs as well as the Playmat. She's also still speculation but damn that would be weird if she weren't in the set at all.

    Also, isn't Sorin more of just... a flower? I do not believe he's attached to any walls. I bet he makes a fine statue though.

    At this point its almost guaranteed, since it would be highly unusual for the Bolas walkers to not be in the set considering how central they are to the story and stuff.  The Gatewatch will probably get some new walker cards in Ravnica Part 3.

    As for Sorin last we saw Nahiri encased him in stone at the old Markov Manor after they fought.  Assuming he survived Emrakul's rampage, he is really more Wall than Flower right now.

    I dunno, isn't a statue just a stone flower?

    Wizards has also stated that the alignment of the guilds with and against Bolas would be two guilds in Guilds of Ravnica would be siding with Bolas and three in Ravnica Allegiance, with the intention of making it seem from a player perspective that Bolas's influence was growing on the plane, and that all guilds aligned with Bolas would be lead by planeswalkers. This also follows with Wizard's desire to maintain balance on both sides of a conflict, and the three guilds that would side with Bolas were all immediately obvious once we knew the Izzet and Golgari sided with Bolas. In order to give both sides of the conflict guilds that are balance with two in each color identity, the other three had to be the Orzhov, Azorius, and Gruul.

    Now that's not to say that some of the characters won't betray Bolas later. We already know this will happen with Vraska once Jace restores her memory, and since Ral has been leaking info regarding Project Lightningbug to Jace, there's reason to believe he might also change his allegiance. He won't want his home destroyed.

    Going back to Sorin, yes, Nahiri encased his body in stone, and he is unable to free himself. Olivia saw him trapped in stone, and laughed because she was sick of his rule of Innistrad and left him trapped there. So unless someone else has freed him since, he's basically out of the story, hence the joke of calling him a wallflower

    This is my Sorin deck for Rising Tensions... Play 3 Forerunners then start fetching Vona's. Only play Tetzilmoc if necessary.

    Azor's gateway is so so good with him...
