Strategies
With
Haunting Ghost has below average stats for his cost, though the ability is useful as most annoying setup plants have just 1 health. You can also play him in the water to prevent the plant hero from easily destroying him due to his Amphibious trait.
This can essentially replace Pied Piper, as the ability targets any plant on board, and since it takes place instantly, the plant hero can do nothing to prevent it. However, unlike Pied Piper, he does not have any tribe synergy, and will only affect one plant, so take that into account if you are short on deck space.
You can reuse his ability with Secret Agent, or if playing as Brain Freeze, with Firefighter and Mixed-Up Gravedigger.
Against
Stat wise, he is very weak. Anything that can damage him will destroy him. Because of this, your opponent is most likely going to play him in the aquatic lane. Also, you will not be able to do anything about his ability either, but you can play multiple threats to force the opponent to decide which plant is the most threatening. Do not Bounce him, unless you are going to defeat the zombie hero, since your opponent can then replay this to weaken another plant again.
