Ghost, I can't see him.

[spice gust]

Today i have my ted talk about Ghost. After 2 weeks trying to get ghost to work ok, ive given up. 4 mana isnt the issue, the issues are:

1. It dies quick(not saying health is the issue)
2. When a minion is worth yoinking, its 90% of the time mythic, which makes it not worth to use anymore. Then you focus on things in the 4-5-6-7 mana range, the which most of the time have support units which makes it impossible to yoink
3. Back in the day, you had a good chance to steal something, now you most of the time have to invest more mana to keep it alive, which in the end doesnt make it worth yoinking.
4. It gives the minion Curse, when most of the time you steal something, its already damaged.

I could write more things, but the point i wanna make is: I know its a niche card, but atm its just unplayable and not even fun anymore. If playing ghost atm was fun, not even rewarding i wouldn't have wrote this. Could we start looking at maybe Removing the Mythic restriction and Curse. Ghost can have such great play when you can punish people for playing things horribly. And even with removing the mythic restriction, it can still get killed quite easily. Can put the WC amount to 1 aswell so people dont spam it.

I agree. Ghost needs some love too

[sinful violet]

did you try ghost with KP and rock rivals + blast? pretty ez steal almost 99% of the time and statue will be full..

[spice gust]

I did try this actually, and ye sometimes it worked. But still really low success rate and 11 mana down the drain

[viral scarab]

i think ghost shouldn't exist lol

[cursive hound]

In my opinion ghosting a mythic minion is worth it, especially on your side of the arena. It still stuns it for ten seconds and curses it, so even if you don't damage it, it will be down 30% of it's health.

[spice gust]

So you would rather pay 4 mana, not sure if it gets off for a 10sec stun and curse, than a flexible 3 mana spell, that will always hit unless a ultrafast blackhole that stuns for 4 seconds in a large area, and give it everything it hit marked?

I know what im choosing

And then dont even take into account the mana to protect ghost getting it off

[dusk sleet]

Just play curse bearer lol

[ruby maple]

did you try that with clear skies?

[junior gorge]

That's a great meme, haha. Play Living Statue? NO thanks, play Rock Rivals + Ghost + Clear Skies instead

[ruby maple]

blame nikshow!, he played ghost + clear skies for a while (shortly after they made it clear curse :D)

[formal yew]

Wait does clear skies clear curse? Could that be useful on Rendrath too?

[ruby maple]

yes, was a buff like a year ago

[formal yew]

Cool

[junior gorge]

Probably not worth it though

[formal yew]

Worth it if you're planning to use it for more than that

But yeah, clear skies is eh

[ruby maple]

clear skies needs to be reworked to either also:

-kill stormy
-kill every flying unit

[dusk sleet]

I love blover

[viral scarab]

killing every flying unit would be HUGE

they can't make such a card

🤣

[ruby maple]

there already is

Maybe have ghost curse anything it starts to try to capture so even if it dies, it got SOME value.

[spice gust]

Creative!

[timber vale]

funnily enough, that does also lower its value if it does capture something XD

wild thought to fix that: adds ghost health to the target it captured (or just give it spirit) 😄

[spice gust]

TBF i'd take anything, but i still think the bigger issue is just that its fucking hard to steal something, especially since we see a lot of mythics in play.

And yes i know, it shouldnt be really easy

Maybe if it gets spirit, its worth stealing more 5 mana minions etc

[ruby maple]

ghost spirit could be the buff clear skies needs

[icy kernel]

because I'm in favor of equal treatment for everyone, let him have more life and possess faster, but now he only gives the stun and the cursed effect without stealing anything
