I wanted a Planeswalker for Arcunda, and was pleased to find Wikipedia's entry on Sorin, which describes him as "well traveled and well heeled. Having seen hundreds of planes over thousands of years, he has become a sort of bon vivant, seeking novelty and new diversions."
Sounds perfect for someone who might have come to Arcunda searching for the powerful artifact which is now surfacing...
At present, no firm mechanical ideas.
Name change, add cost
I like the first and last abilities a lot. A double Phyrexian Arena is fair for six mana, although perhaps it'd be nice if it was targeted like Sign in Blood.
The current middle ability seems a bit dubious. A black Dramatic Entrance for any card type? It's getting less sensible as Wizards print more stupendously strong effects at silly mana costs: Eldrazi, Primal Surge, Omniscience, Enter the Infinite. That might be worth changing to some other effect... I don't have much by way of good ideas, though. An adventurer searching for stuff sounds like he might like to cast Diabolic Tutor, but that's a bit similar to Liliana Vess's middle ability.
Woah, yeah, that's improved rather in the last two years.
Hmm, how about this? To further play into the Ultimate. It could target the permanent to shuffle, but that might be a bit much. Then again...
Mm. He casts Edicts for any card type. People will mostly give up lands for a little while. Seems fine; I think it could cost [-1]. (Targeting would be a no-no, BTW, as that'd give black enchantment destruction. Black's only allowed to do that if it uses colourless cards like Spine of Ish Sah or Karn Liberated to do it. Strange but true.)
Made middle -1 (was -2)
