Crypt Ghast

Description

Released in 2024 as part of the Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander subset, Crypt Ghast (card number 368) is a foil mythic rare spirit in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Tim Jacobus, this card is a staple for players building black mana bases or seeking aggressive life-gain strategies in the Commander format. The creature has a mana cost of {3}{B} and a mana value of 4. It enters the battlefield with power and toughness of 2/2. Its primary abilities define its role in gameplay: the extort keyword allows you to pay {W/B} to make opponents lose life and you gain life whenever you cast a spell. Additionally, the card provides a static ability that adds an extra {B} whenever you tap a Swamp for mana, facilitating faster casting of high-cost spells. Collectors value this print for its foil finish and mythic rare status within the subset. The card's design emphasizes its supernatural nature, making it a desirable addition to any collection of modern Magic: The Gathering cards. Whether you are looking to complete the Commander subset or add a powerful tool to your deck, this card represents a significant piece of the 2024 release. Crypt Ghast continues to be a notable figure in the Magic: The Gathering lore, representing the dark and twisted elements of the Duskmourn plane. Its inclusion in the Commander subset highlights its importance for singleton formats, where its life-gain and mana ramp capabilities can turn the tide of a game. For collectors, owning a foil version of this mythic rare is a testament to the depth and variety of the Duskmourn: House of Horror expansion.
