Ok, I managed to last one entire year without initiating a sorcerer thread. So I guess I can post one now.
Ok, last UA brought a new version of the Favored Soul that basically can get any cleric spell. So the main question is exactly that one. Which spells are good with metamagic and which ones can get actually broken?
Between cantrips and leveled spells this access brings out 86 new spells in core. So it would be a good idea to go little by little and checking which spells could get out of hand and which ones don't actually benefit from metamagic.
Remember, the idea is to discuss possible good uses and possible overpowered uses, not the merits of the subclass, or whether sorcerers have the right to exist. I beg you to stay focused on the main topic, black and white is this spell overpowered with this metamagic or only good or actually useless? (And remember that Metamagic comes online only at third level)
This is the list of cleric spells that sorcerers don't have access to (* marks spells that are also on the Wizard list):
