With all the cards that need Nationality-identifiers these days, I thought this could be an interesting Lost Soul.

For any cards that require or have variable based on a nationality. Like Assyrian Siege Army.

I guess I was thinking "draw step. draw the lost soul. move to upkeep. Use the ability." so, really, it's "dead" if drawn outside of draw step or put into play by some mechanic.

So:
"When 'Scorners' enters play or at your upkeep, choose a nationality. 'Scorners' gains that nationality identifier until your next upkeep."

Yep, and with Covet, Awake, Lawless, and all the draw abilities in the game right now, I'm guessing you'd see this hit play quite a bit outside the draw phase.

Scorners were only in the OT /wink :o ;)

Personally I'd like it to have a Daniel Reference. It could get 2 more cards in my Daniel deck to actually be Daniel, but I could say this about any Lost Soul.
