I don't know, but I don't think there's a lot of limited players that want to only have 1 creature in play. Unless you're a control savant.
This is a late pick, I forgot to draft creatures, kind of card.
That might be true in a typical Limited format, but we haven't seen the whole set, and we know that loners are enough of a theme to warrant inclusion on the mechanics page. The fact that Sadin was given this as a preview card in the first place indicates that it will probably be feasible (although not trivial) to draft a loner deck.

The development side of me is hoping that , because of soulbond, this set has extra removal. Especially if this removal is heavily in black, where the loners are. That means you can draft up a removal/control deck with loners and it will be able to hold off those soulbonders and take advantage of the weakness.
I feel that if this isn't the case, then soulbond is going to be extremely overpowered in the set.

If there is more removal than normal, then Loners are going to be even weaker than in other Limited environments. If it's easier to kill a creature, than relying on just one creature is going to be harder, no?

Sorry, I meant that the removal would be in the loner player's deck and not in the other decks (so heavily/exclusively in black and unsplashable). It would take a very perfect balance that might not even be theoretically possible, which is why I think this limited environment is going to be ruined by soulbond.
