Should I Keep Greed in My Liesa Deck?

I have a copy of Greed in my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk EDH deck, because that enchantment is such an amazing resource in that deck, but I am contemplating replacing that card with one of two other cards, so I would like to ask everyone else here, for advice, on this matter.
The first card that I am considering as a replacement for Greed is Erebos, God of the Dead, since he has the exact same mana cost as Greed, as well as being indestructible, preventing my opponents from gaining life, and potentially being a 5/7 creature, but my only concern is that his activated ability costs 1 more mana than does that of Greed, and that additional cost shall add up, over the course of a game.
The second card that I am considering is Lunar Convocation, because that card is less expensive than is Greed, yet has several amazing abilities, but, again, its primary ability costs 1 more mana than does that of Greed, so I am not certain if I can justify replacing the existing enchantment.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep Greed in my Liesa deck, or should I replace it with one of the other two cards? Is it worth paying 1 additional mana to draw a card in exchange for the additional abilities? I certainly would appreciate any feedback that anyone here may have to offer.

If you like it, keep it... But.
Me personally, I love that card. I put greed in my decks, pretty much whenever I can. If it's cards you want and right away for a cheaper cost. There is another 2 of my favorite black card draw cards.
That's my 2 favorite
I think these are better cards.

Noxid05, I shall need to observe how frequently I use Greed, and how other players respond to it, so I shall keep it, in my deck, for the present moment.

Do you find that you are often needing to use the card draw from Greed? If so it is probably worth keeping it. However, if your Greed is frequently getting destroyed Erebos, God of the Dead would probably be better, especially if life gain decks, or Sanguine Bond combos are frequent in your meta. If you only use your greed occasionally, and it doesn't get destroyed often Lunar Convocation as it has the the most utility imo outside of card draw. Hopefully this helps :)
