This is pretty cool, but I'm also sure it's undercosted. After all, wouldn't you play with this card?
Sorcery
Destroy target creature. Gain 2 life.
Granted, Mortify is better, but just barely. Meanwhile, this card comes with a pretty crazy buyback cost of "Prevent the next 5 damage that would be dealt to you".
As an aside, the ultimate may not be the best choice for what the card does. If I've activated the +2 three times, I probably don't want to activate the ultimate. I'd probably just want to keep activating the +2...
I'm not happy with the ultimate either. The ability to ping with lifelink and deathtouch was what I was exploring with this card. Everything else was tacked on to make a full Planeswalker. I considered making the ultimate deal 1 damage to everything then reanimating all graveyards under your control, but the creatures dealt damage won't actually die until after the ability resolves.
Hmm... that is tricky. You could have Sorin deal damage to a player directly, but that's kind of boring. I'd say you might want a first ability that gives everyone a token creature, so you could use the second and third abilities on the tokens... but the card would probably run too long...
Hee, it's Seal of Chastisement and Venomvine Lattice on one card :)
