- WWizards of the Coast2025-01-24Official RulingIf 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.
- WWizards of the Coast2025-01-24Official RulingYou 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.
- WWizards of the Coast2025-01-24Official RulingMultiple instances of deathtouch and/or lifelink on the same creature are redundant.

Paying a card's printed mana cost is generally a safe and fair strategy, while being able to discount a card by several mana is sometimes too strong. For this reason, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is banned in Pioneer. Source: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/august-26-2024-banned-and-restricted-announcement
