Great guide! The walkthrough of the inclusions and the mulligan practice was very helpful. Not sure if you addressed this already, but when do you feel comfortable flipping sorin into a planeswalker? Since he has extort on both sides, you could just extort in your post-combat main phase as to not trigger his flip and keep him protected. What sorts of threats are you looking at removing in the midgame? Do you think its worth it to -1 him to slow someone else down who maybe has an engine commander/creature or are you looking more to use it for your own defense to keep your board state safe against scarier creatures?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful and I appreciate your comment!
I typically try to avoid flipping him until I need to use his -1 as removal, or until I'm ready to -1 to hit someone's face to start moving toward a win. As you mentioned, both sides have extort, so there's nothing terribly wrong about having him on the planeswalker side except that he is far more vulnerable to stray attacks. You make a great point in that you can wait until your second main phase to extort to avoid flipping. I do this fairly often.
I definitely think it's worth using the planeswalker side's -1 ability to take out key threats. It's really context dependent in terms of what to target, so I'm not sure how to explain, but if you provide some scenarios, I can weigh in on my opinion about what creature might be the most existentially threatening. You could always just ask the table what they think might be the best target. Even if you don't agree, it can often be worth it to just get a couple of people on your side.
