We've discussed the Hopper and agreed the the identifier "Does not count as a Lost Soul for deck building rules." excludes it from normal deck building rules. That will continue to allow it to be in the Reserve (unlike other Lost Souls) and allow it to be in both teammates deck for Teams.

The four elders involved in the discussion all agreed and you can consider this official.

So I can have any number of Hoppers in a Type II deck?

When your playing with your friends outside tournaments, yes. 

I believe the difference between deck building rules (card counts for example) and LS rules was already mention.

Although the Type 2 example is a bit farcical, let me ask a related question for Type I.

Maximum of 1 of each in a deck:
• Any card with more than one brigade at face value.
• Dominants (lamb icon or grim reaper icon cards).
• Lost Souls with a special ability.

Maximum of 1 of each per 50 cards in a deck:
• Any card that has a special ability. This includes characters, Enhancements, Artifacts,
Covenants, Curses, Sites, Fortresses and Cities.
Maximum of 3 of each in a deck:
• Heroes, Evil Characters and Enhancements that do not have a special ability and have
one brigade at face value.

How many Hoppers can I have in a 100-card Type I deck?  Am I limited to one based on the "Lost Souls with a special ability." restriction or 2 based on the "Any card that has a special ability." clause?
