MTG’s Modern Horizons 3 has more than lived up to Horizons sets past, featuring hugely powerful and costly cards that players are doing their best to get their hands on.

Among Modern Horizons 3’s most sought-after cards is the small cycle of flip-walkers. These transforming Planeswalkers have made quite a splash since the set’s debut, with several already skyrocketing in place. Now it’s Sorin of House Markov’s turn, as players are thirsting after this excellent new Orzhov Vampire.

Sorin of House Markov / Sorin, Ravenous Neonate was already on the pricey side following Modern Horizons 3’s launch, averaging around $9. However, this price has significantly spiked as players have gotten used to Modern Horizons 3 and seen the drain and gain that Sorin is capable of.

The Sorin flip-walker is now sitting at around $27, a sum worthy of this ascended aristocrat. While hopefully, the price will settle before too long for the sake of interested players, Flip-walkers’ rarity in MTG makes this a piece that collectors are going to want to grab as soon as possible.
