EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see when you use it with Job they can underdeck any card. That's actually pretty useless because they can just underdeck all of their lost souls.

So we just need RDT or Isildur to come up with an insane combo that makes their opponent use Job and this enhancement!

Oh, that's easy. Just use Sent to Server to place Endurance of Job on Job, then use Dissuading Speech, Lies, or Sarah's Jealousy to choose Job as the rescuer.

That's a...really good point...is it supposed to read that way?

It's not.  I can say that this card was worked over many, many times to get the wording to be what we meant it to be, and I believe the second-to-last version did not specify hand and/or territory (to indicate that you used the same targeting as the first component).  This got clarified, and now it is kind of broken as a result.  I imagine this will be getting an errata/clarification, as it is supposed to have the exact same targeting for each component (evil cards in hand and/or territory), but we'll have to confer on that

yeah i read it initially as evil cards/ evil cards for both parts but i can see where someone would try to construe it to be lost souls to work in their favor with it's current wording haha

It's not a matter of trying to construe, it's what the card actually says. It'd be an easier argument to make that it doesn't need at least clarification if not errata if Maltese Viper weren't in the same set.

Revealed today are some very interesting Lost Souls.

Let's name them! The girl next door, predator, reacher

It now lists the spoiled new cards in order by card number (for those I've been able to read it on, the small half-previews are really blurry in the corner, lol). The rarity is still in parenthesis after, and the card number is now before the card name and also colored based on rarity (black text is common, red text is rare, green text is ultra rare) for easy reference.

Awesome! Let me help with those card numbers.

37-Paul's Nephew
16-Philip's Daughters
15-Agabus
6-Jerusalem
61-Uproar in Jerusalem
72-Revolt
78-Centurion at Jerusalem
80-Roman Citizenship
73-Emperor Claudius
49-Of One Mind
3-Alexandrian Ship
60-Stormy Seas
44-Snake into the Fire
48-Healings in Malta
81-Pestering Spirit

I would've figured that Jude and James would band since they were brothers.

 I think the underdeck "insert book" enhancement ability is a bit useless unless you play with  50 card deck or have ways to topdeck the enhancement, otherwise you will probably not use that enhancement again. The CTB ability is good and could redeemed a soul unless your opponent martyrs him or does a grapes of wrath to shuffle them into your deck, those only giving Jude a recur ability.

The enhancements I like, though I see them being more useful than the actual character.

If you are using underdecking combos for good cards, you just have to use Silas to get them back faster.  These mini-themes are also very good for either extremely fast or extremely sturdy decks, where being able to recur them will give you late-game power once you draw out.  That's not even to mention the T2 potential for recurring and then shuffling or topdecking with Silas.

The CTB is going to be incredibly strong, but just like all CTB abilities it has a few weak points (which is very good for the game).

I've spent a few years now looking for the revealer lost soul. A few days ago I finally got it only to see the preview of this lost soul.

Silias's ability... do you get to choose to topdeck up to X or if you choose to use his ability you have to topdeck X?

Shame Kirk, myself and some of the old players who used to make twonky deck aren't active anymore. I have a feeling someone could make a pretty mean deck out of all these topdeck your own deck cards (hint hint).

Today's preview shows off some new Kings of Israel support.
