Deck overview

This is a general-power Orzhov midrange deck built around Sorin of House Markov, lifelink, extort, modified creatures, artifact creatures, and graveyard recursion. Its best ordinary plan is to cast Sorin of House Markov, develop mana, gain at least 3 life in one turn, and transform him into Sorin, Ravenous Neonate. The transformed planeswalker supplies Food, limited direct damage, and occasional creature theft. The deck also has useful value creatures such as Inspiring Overseer, Roving Harper, and Sun Titan, plus broad permanent removal. However, it lacks reliable tutoring, cheap acceleration, stack interaction, and a defined closing engine. Its creatures can build a respectable board, but the list does not consistently convert that board into lethal damage against three players or a total lockout. It is therefore a functional casual midrange deck with a slow, variable setup and no supported finish.
