Perhaps I shouldn't use such strong language. I just don't want Josiah swaying young and weaker players (like he has The Guardian) to include it in all of their decks.  ;)

It's not awful, but it's certainly not Tier 1. Tier 3 at best.

It allows you the opportunity to rescue half of it if your half-rescued Liner somehow ends up in your opponent's LoB (via Nebushasban for instance). This was a much bigger deal before the rule change that disallowed Lost Souls to be rescued from your own territory (and honestly, the strong wording I used in my previous post was a product of my still sort of being in that mindset),
OK. I figured that is what it was, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn;t missing something.

but I would still play 2-Liners before 3-Liners in 2P categories.
In 2P categories, I would really only care one way or another if I were playing cards that would allow me to move the Souls into an opponent's territory.

Wanderer's a pretty common card for your opponent to play, but its still unlikely to matter.  I use a 2-liner, just because I don't actually own a 3-liner (something that has hurt me in Teams before).

Yeah--but depending on your opponent to choose move a half-rescued 2-Liner (which is when this really matters) at a time that benefits you is just multiplying improbabilities.

I'd say the Hopper, Switch, Revealer, Female, and Resurrection LS are in every offensive/balanced deck I make. I never regret using them, they should all be tier 1, in my experience.

I usually find myself making a deck around the 2 liner, including cards to shuffle and hide souls just for that card, rather than just throwing it in. I don't like using it, or facing it, though it should be tier 1 or 2 at least.

I've never seen the Site Guard played, is it really that great?

The N.T. only is usually a good filler soul nowadays, as most decks have little trouble getting around it.

The TEC LS seems like filler to me. I would put it in as a last resort.

Most decks I make now include some sites, so the Deck and Hand discard ones are usually in them.

The rest I agree with. Good topic.
If you were to go on a trip... where would you like to go?
