• Weaknesses:

  • Additional Cost: Casting Souls of the Lost Requires you to Either discard a card or sacrifice a permanent as an additional cost. This can be a significant drawback, as it requires you to make a sacrifice before even getting the creature on the battlefield.
  • Vulnerable to graveyard hate: Since its power and toughness depositing on the number of permanent cards in your graveyard, any effect that exiles or removes cards from your graveyard can weaving souls of the lost.
  • Lack or Inherent Abilities: Souls Of The Lost Doesn't Have Any Inherent Abilities Beyond Its Variable Power and Toughness, So It Relies On Other Cards or Effects To Give It Additional Abilities.

Overall Impression:
Souls of the Lost is a unique creature with variable power and toughness, making it potentialy powerful if your graveyard is filled with permanents. However, the additional cost of discarding a card or sacrifying a permanent can be a significant drawback, and its vulnerability to graveyard hate makes it less reliable. It may find a place in decks that can consistently fill their graveyard with permanents and have ways to mitigate the additional cost.
