I would not put 10 LS in my T1 deck. ::)

--But since I think you asked nicely, these are some of my favorites:

Switch
Lawless
CBP
Dull
Revealer
Crowds
Liner
Jim
Awake
FBTN

However, there's definitely 2-3 LS I will be using from the new set. 8)

For sure I will not be putting 10 lost souls in my deck. But I thought if I asked then I could rearrange what I thought was the best out of the top 10 or if I don't have them all. Thanks for your top 10!

I've never heard of "Jim" either. The new one are called "Darkness", "Humble", "Immitate" and "Gain".

After playing some deck building games, I'm going to wager a guess that the "gain" soul allows to add a card to hand from discard, or more likely taking a card from the reserve to deck/hand.

Fool is from Tin XXVI. Crowds is the new Local promo from 2016. Like those, all the Lost Soul nicknames I mentioned above are taken from the scripture on the card.

You might know it as the "Open Hand" soul. But I don't really like that name so I call it "Jim" (after the artist).

That was pretty much just to confuse you, as I'm the only one that calls it that. Carry on.

Jim is a great name for him.. He is hilarious to play when your opponent has no cards in hand x)  :maul:

What if the darkness soul is is like The Darkness and you can place an evil character face down on it and it can be added to battle if opponent is rescuing that soul. Or something like that. like a battle extender for evil characters.

I predict Darkness will be in 100% of decks, so good!

There was a conversation about these about a year or so ago.  They are still very good at stalling the opponent's deck.  With the new SoG they aren't quite as powerful as they used to be, but are still played.  The conversation did state that most people are taking these out for some of the lost souls that help their decks in a more specific way.  Lost souls that keep your opponents from being able to band, or searches for cards when they draw, or maybe even make your enhancements CBP are much better options for a game that now requires you to have some kind of defense compared to the days where you just hope you can stall the opponent long enough to win 5 lost souls before they do.

Female only is still one of my favorites. it goes in most of my decks, but i agree, the new souls are generally better, especially the few soul-gen souls and cbp soul.
