You're assuming that the cost comes after the size retire, Tomo. If the cost comes before the size retire, which it probably does as I described above, then the size of your field will already have been reduced by the cost when this card enters play, and therefore you wouldn't need to retire again.

Also, I don't think Soulguard would protect Succubus there. You technically haven't met the cost (since she wasn't sent to the drop zone), so you wouldn't get to call. Of course we're missing rulings on both...
