Another GTC card to rate is...

Crypt Ghast

 Spoiler: Show

5.0
: First pick no matter what.  I will always play this card.
4.5
: Splashable and first pick worthy.
4.0
: First pick pack 1.
3.5
: Early pick though not always a first pick.
3.0
: Solid early/mid pick.
2.5
: Solid pick in color.
2.0
: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5
: Decent filler.
1.0
: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5
: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0
: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).


This card looks like it should be a bomb.  And granted he is good especially in certain Orzhov decks, I wouldn't call him a bomb.  I would call him very solid though.

3.5

Discuss!

I'll go 3.5. 3 toughness would have helped him out considerably, but if you can get him to stick he should be a bomb.

3.0. I've used him a couple of times. Good, but there's little use for his ramp.

My sig was so awesome it broke Browsers, I had to remove it.

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters.  More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it.  Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

I think it's used to pay extortion costs generally. That's how I'd use it.

I actually have to put this guy at 2.5

His mana doubling only worksd on swamps, not on all black mana, and that makes less than half of 90% of manabases that will use Black to have it due to Gates and other Mana Fixers bringing it down from the average 3.5
Blocks I liked: (+1)

Invasion
Onslaught
Mirrodin
Time Spiral
Lorwyn
Zendikar
Return to Ravnica

Blocks I disliked: (-1)

Oddesy
Champions of Kamigawa
Time Echoes
Innistrad
Any Released Blocks not listed in this Sig

Blocks I neutralize: (+/-0)

Ravnica City of Guilds
Shadowmoor
Shards of Alara
Scars of Mirrodin

Yeah this. And he has extort, too!
Extort may sometimes give you choices as to whether to play stuff sooner, or later and try to extort it, as well. This card lessens the need to make that choice.
