I think the souls you drew would be placed, cards drawn to replace them, and THEN Mayhem would work.
While playing in a local tournament today I noticed something that was irritating me. When I would draw and pickup lost souls my opponent would place a Mayhem on the table. I try not to play in a slow manner, but I didn't even draw my third card before Mayhem hit the playing field. There was no reaction time to lay any LS down and continue the draw phase. I feel that this is an issue. I feel that the opponent must wait until the drawing phase is complete and ask for permission for initiative, or give at least 5 seconds to play a mayhem card while the drawing phase is in progress.
As I said, I think the drawing player could respond to their draw by playing an dominants (but not other cards) they want to and then the opponent has the opportunity to play their Mayhem or whatever dominant.

Your opponent should not be trying to play any cards during your Draw Phase. You have the right to draw your three cards, and replace any Lost Soul cards, before your opponent can do anything. Did you bring this situation up with the judge/host?
First, if you are referring to me on the first part, you had the third card already placed in hand with no indication it was coming down with a soul. I didn't throw down a dominant without the indication that you should be done with your draw. If it was another game, then that's a matter I cannot comment on
And as PA/MD group member the trend of players letting competitive spirits overrule fellowship and courtesy is one of the things that is quickly souring me on this game. A competitive spirit is slightly selfish in nature and we need start placing an emphasis on to tempering it with Christian fellowship and courtesy for the health of the game and the region.

Everyone should play their best, but I believe graciousness should overrule winning a game. If my taking an action in my best interest knowing it will infuriate my opponent and cause them to have anger, I should consider being gracious.
To avoid all of this I inform my opponent of the fact that when there draw phase has completed if he/she doesn't wish to respond to their action of drawing with a Dom, I intend to play mayhem. I've had no issues with this at any point.
Along these lines, if we ever seriously consider a reboot, I think this is an important issue that needs to be addressed...It's never too late to create a binding structure on the use of Dominants
