Another thing you didn't notice, I bet: when a monster with penetrate or spectral strike forces a monster to use up a soulguard when it attacks, the opposing monster is technically destroyed and so penetrate and spectral strike would actually deal damage. (Basically, if Deathgaze attacks a Drum on the side and removes a soul via its attack, then 2 damage will still be dealt).

Why say all this? This guy can use soul to NEGATE the attacks, not just stopping itself from leaving the field, so it would prevent penetrate and spectral strike from working. It isn't quite a fair trade off, but still a noteworthy aspect. Did that all make sense?
