Hm. Doesn't really work too well with Terhan, False Prophet, because lifelink isn't cumulative any more. So he's useless as a target for Terhan's +1 ability, and doesn't interact at all with the others.
Well, the cards should be able to stand on their own more then interact with their planeswalker in my opinion. Jace's Ingenuity, Chandra's Outrage, and Sorin's Thirst don't interact with their chosen planeswalker either.
Well, any instant or sorcery interacts with Chandra, the Firebrand.
But Chandra's Outrage interacts with Chandra's Phoenix and Chandra's Spitfire. Jace's Ingenuity interacts with Jace's Erasure. I view it as a defect of the cycle that Sorin's Thirst interacts with neither Sorin's Vengeance nor Sorin Markov.
yes but Sorin's Thirst is Exactly his +2 ability so it does still tie into Sorin Markov to a degree.
I'm not surprised that wizards is deviating from the "two spells, one of which is enabled by the other spell and one of the planeswalker abilities" pattern; I assumed it made sense to branch out into other links, and that if they can't keep the same pattern forever, some planeswalker cards have to break it first. Sorin's cards at least make sense thematically in the same deck with Sorin.
I think the problem here isn't that they're not specifically synergistic (if you like b/w lifegain you might well play this creature with this planeswalker), but what Alex identified first, that if you get them both in play at the same time, you may feel bad, which is not perfect for a planeswalker's signiture creature.
