Tap the Swamps. Siphon the Game.

Crypt Ghast is a compact engine for mono black builds and life oriented control shells. The card reads cleanly: its printed Extort ability makes each nonland spell an opportunity to bleed opponents and pad your life total. That adds a steady incremental advantage in multiplayer and paired formats where every point of life and every tax matters.

Beyond the drain, Crypt Ghast doubles the value of your Swamps by producing an extra {B} when tapped for mana. That interaction amplifies early ramp lines and makes conversion plays easier when you need extra black mana for big threats. Practical, predictable and tuned to the Ravnica Remastered color identity, this 2 2 Spirit fits in anything that wants repeatable drain and reliable black acceleration.

Card Details:

• Mana Cost – {3}{B}
• Card Type – Creature
• Subtypes – Spirit
• Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.) Whenever you tap a Swamp for mana, add an additional {B}.
