Crypt Ghast or Liliana?
Deck Help forum

My deck works wonderfully but could use a little speed up with its mana costs. Gray Merchant of Asphodel takes just a little too long, especially with my high number of 4 drops. deck-large:ccc-playing-in-the-underworld Help please, I like how it works now but I'm debating trying this out tomorrow night at FNM and I think it has some really good potential!
I guess it's just that I'm not sure if I wanna throw my money in the coffers at the Shrine to Nyx, though I guess if I want to make Crypt Ghast or Liliana of the Dark Realms worth it they would probably end up being close to at least the price of one Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Crypt Ghast with extort would probably help a little bit more too with the lifegain and loss through Sanguine Bond . Thanks.

If it's specifically for playing out more things, Crypt Ghast is infinitely better as you get the immediate benefit from it, rather than being killed before being used for that purpose like Liliana.

way too many 4+ drops. not enough kill spells, you're going to be sitting back hoping you're drawing mana while you opponent is swinging at will.
Liliana of the Dark Realms is nice because it acts as a kill spell, helps draw out mana form your deck to makes your draws a little more effective, but with your CMC really high and most of your creatures are high drops, you might want to add in some 1-3 drops, Shadow Alley Denizen , Tormented Hero , Rakdos Shred-Freak , Nightveil Specter , Doom Blade , Devour Flesh

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is kind of required in a devotion deck. Otherwise I'd go Lili. Better flexibility.
