    Exiling the Soul from your graveyard is part of the last ability's activation cost. A player can't remove the Soul in response to prevent you from activating the ability.

  • WotCJul 18, 2014

    To activate either ability, you must target a player, but you can choose to not target any creatures.

  • WotCJul 18, 2014

    You can activate the last ability only if the Soul is in your graveyard.
