Who is Dack?

He's a Red/Blue 'walker that's been mentioned in a few of the stories. He's a renowned thief who steals the magical power from artifacts like some sort of mega-man mage. This usually results in the artifacts breaking.

What if Dack shows up to steal the Hellvault's power for himself and breaks it in the process as he is want to do?

Then we have the first black mage who is pleased with the actions of a ur mage? As well as one who is not.

I'm acutally surprised we've not seen Dack show up yet to nab Lilliana's Veil. And I never ever.....ever....want to be on the wrong side of Sorin Markov.

Yea, but now we know!

I think it makes sense that she would be B/W, especially seeing as the dude who made her is B/W now.

Color identities mean less for planeswalkers than they do for other creatures. Sorin Markov -> Sorin, Lord of Innistrad doesn't reflect any personal and irreversible change; just that he behaves differently on Innistrad than he would on another plane. In that sense, Sorin has always been BW, and this is just the first time we've seen his white side.

So Avacyn being BW doesn't have anything to do with Sorin, just with her roommates in the Helvault.

They've all but said Liliana's going to be the one to break the Helvault, so I'm sure she knows (or will).

There's always the possibility they repeat what Nissa did.

Liliana breaks open the Helvault and.....
ELDRAZI EVERYWEEEAAAAR

Exactly! What is up with Sorin running through the multiverse putting together all these damn Pandora's boxes!?

It's like this awful demiurge that must be screaming in this head, MUST FORSHADOW!!

Yeah, good point.

It will certainly be interesting to find out what's been going on in there. I always thought that something didn't look right with the picture they put up with the announcement.

And as far as Liliana goes, if I recall correctly all that she knows is that Gristelbrand vanished after a duel with Avacyn, hence why she's been skulking around Thraben to gather info from the Church of Avacyn.

It would explain why she zombified Big Mike, too. Possibly in the hopes of getting the information she needed out of him. Or, that the very least, as a massive trollface moment.

In all seriousness, I'd love it if all the demons in the Helvault turned out to be Eldrazi. Not only would it be batshit crazy, but it would also mean that Creative actually decided to FINISH AN ARC, something they haven't done since Lorwyn.
Alara: They reunited; now what?
Zendikar: The Eldrazi are out; now what?
Mirrodin: Karn's ok; now what?
It's like they think we're too stupid to notice...
