Lost Soul Ability timing

Do lost souls have to wait for you to complete your draw for their abilities to trigger or do they trigger immediately when you place them in your Land of Bondage before even getting replaced?  And if they wait until the draw completes, what about if drawn during an 'interrupt, draw 3 play next' (like reach of desperation) - do they resolve after the draw portion completes or do they wait until the enhancement played off of the 'play next' completes?
Life is what you make of it.

The current ruling is that they activate at the end of the draw. If you draw Destruction/Shrink (the CoW Soul that discards an Enhancement) off Reach, you can discard the interrupted Enhancement before the play.

The alternative probably treats "if drawn" and similar clauses as triggers, so LS activate at the end of the draw but you can't use the triggers until after the play, which means LS that are just active (Protection, Negates, Modifiers) are active during the play, but those with triggers are delayed. Which sounds really complicated.
