Crypt Ghast
Oracle Text
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}.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Crypt Ghast plays as a graveyard-eating financier of incremental advantage: thematically it’s a spirit that drains the living while siphoning mana from the very swamps it haunts, and mechanically it best supports a value/attrition plan with strong combo and midrange potential. The additional {B} on every Swamp makes it a core piece in mono‑black ramp and devotion builds—pair it with Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for explosive mana, or use the excess to fuel big finishers like Exsanguinate or reanimation spells. Extort turns every cheap spell into a steady life‑drain engine, so pack low‑cost interaction and multiple small cantrips to milk life each turn; it also pairs excellently with Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Sanguine Bond for huge life swings. Deckbuilding tip: maximize actual Swamp count, include Urborg/Coffers style lands where legal, and lean into cards that convert mana into battlefield inevitability rather than tempo alone.
