Tap the Swamps, Count the Souls
Crypt Ghast is a reliable value engine for black mana decks. The card Crypt Ghast grants Extort and turns every tapped Swamp into extra fuel by adding an additional {B}. Played on curve for {3}{B}, this 2/2 Spirit does more than stall the board. It turns routine land drops into incremental advantage and supports repeatable drain with Extort to push life totals in your favor without committing more permanent resources.
On Ravnica the Guildpact cracks and the shadows keep the books. Use Crypt Ghast in midrange and control lists that expect long games. It smooths fixing in mono black and dimly supports multicolored shells that can reliably tap Swamps. The anime borderless treatment keeps the art focal and table friendly while the printed text matches the original functionality players know. If you value steady resource conversion and passive life swing, this is a practical pick for draft decks and constructed sideboards alike.
