For Challenge # 028

I wasn't sure how to balance the card cost and activation cost.

I wanted the flavour of "agh, a ghost" that usually just goes away, but not always. It's possible this should be more expensive and not need a life payment, but then it can be an infinite stall. I'm not sure how it'd actually play.

Edit: Unfortunately, this also technically suffers from the ridiculous rules problem described on Flash Foliage.

D'oh, so it does. You could say "It can't block any other creatures this combat", but that does draw attention to the problem rather than covering it up...

Kind of funny. It reminds me more of an amusement park's version of a Haunted Castle. I run in there, and a cardboard cut out of a ghost pops up and smacks me in the face.
