Key takeaways
  • Using the Soul as a curve play
  • Forgetting the Soul exists
  • Assuming Souls cannot be answered
  • Building a deck that needs the Soul

Using the Soul as a curve play

Spending it early for tempo throws away its best turn.

Forgetting the Soul exists

It sits outside the hand, so new players lose games with an unused Soul on the table.

Assuming Souls cannot be answered

The board state a Soul creates is still subject to counters and attacks.

Building a deck that needs the Soul

The Soul should improve a functioning deck, not hold a broken one together.
