well that stinks. that just defeats half of a player's defensive strategy and opens the door for the opponent to have the player in the palm of their hand and get the victory. as if this game was hard enough for me to win as it is, it just keeps getting harder every year
Well its not a rule yet (and in fact may never be), and I think its a little bit of an overstatement to say it defeats half of a player's defensive strategy, (they do have to use their SoG/NJ on your lost souls so you'll have less to defend), but I agree it has the potential to hurt defenses.
All in all, when I played with this rule, I just ran a speed deck with soul generation and it seemed to work fine.
