I have always understood it to work that if the Anti-burial LS is being negated when it gets rescued, the protection ability does not activate at all.

I'm fairly certain that is how it was ruled when it first came out, but I'm not sure if that has changed at all.

Is this still how the anti burial lost soul works? Or has there been a different ruling? If so then it's not a good lost soul at all with the new Son of God and the FBTN lost soul.

It also took a hit when the Dominant Cap was introduced making Burial far less likely to be used in T1.

Sometimes new sets or new rules make older cards less useful...that's simply a part of any CCG.

Yes, that is the dominant cap. No, the Lost Soul requirements in deck building are exact numbers, not a minimum.

What if I choose to just have more lost souls? If not then the REG needs to be updated as well it just says minimum

Where precisely in the REG does it state minimum? The deck-building section states "Lost Souls required."

Browa,

I have asked this same question before (and I have not gotten an answer yet).

Is there a maximum cutoff for the number of lost souls/dominants in a deck?

If not, then you can stack it pretty heavy -e.g. 15 souls + 15 dominants + 20 other cards = 50 card deck.

Can you imagine? Has there been an official ruling on this...anyone...?

Thanks,

This I believe has already been answered but here is the ruling. The number of lost souls in a deck for a specific deck size is the exact number of souls you must have in a deck no more or less. This means the number of dominants is always the same as the lost souls that you are allowed to have in a deck for its size per deck building rules. A big reason for it being an exact number and no more is because of "lost soul" decks from a very long time ago. Players (including myself) tried building decks with nearly all lost souls and then the bare minimum amount of the best cards to rescue 3 souls plus SOG and NJ to make 5 for a win. Obviously that's not good for the game so the lost soul count required for deck building purposes is a minimum and maximum at the same time.

Edit: Deck building rules can be found in the reg which outline the # of souls required for different sizes of decks for type 1 and 2.

Ok.
That answers it.
It is an EXACT number - no more, no less.
(I agree that this should be expressed more clearly in the REG).
