What lost soul do you think takes the Liner's spot in top tier decks now?

I haven't seen it in any optimal top tier Type 1 lists post RoJ, so there isn't really a space to fill IMO. It was debatably good in CoL but that deck is thankfully gone.

Right, but the liner has been in every first place in T1 deck for the last decade  (except for Josiah's Hand control deck). I wondering what people with fill that spot with now specially since we already know what the next set's lost souls are.

Punisher and especially Exchanger will see more play this year than before. Punisher will be meta dependent and did get nerfed by the Covenant change but if the meta supports it, it is very good. Exchanger should be run in almost every deck already and it fits right in to the new OT soul package.

Prosperity or Punisher

I'd disagree on the punisher. I'm fairly confident not many people will be running splash decks this year, although i could be wrong. Prosperity is interesting though, and i know it's going to be an insta add to many of my future decks. I'll be interested to see how other people use it.

Exchanger is definitely one of my favorite souls now. Stealing peoples Imitate soul was so crucial to stopping a lot of their momentum last year. Covet can accomplish the same thing and you get a sneak peak of their deck. I think punisher will be good idea. I'm thinking that the wicked soul for me is what I'd put in.

Pretty much all the new OT souls that have been spoiled are playable depending on the deck. Wanderer and Punisher should have been staples already and Punisher is only slightly less good this year.

I think the thing I might like most about Liners being gone is that it inherently makes Falling Away (Wo) less powerful, which I think is also good for the game. Don't get me wrong, I think Falling Away is fine as the "counter" to NJ/TSC, but now that it will only ever subtract 1 Redeemed Soul it is much more balanced IMO.
