Compete at $4 with Chapel; Exorcist adds Spirit gain on top of trashing.

Advanced Tips

Trash priorities: Curse → Will-o'-Wisp (cost 0); Estate/Copper → Will-o'-Wisp; Silver → Imp; $5 → Ghost.

Sometimes deliberately trash $3-$5 cards to fish for higher Spirits.

Will-o'-Wisp is cantrip filler; Imp is strong terminal; Ghost is duration powerhouse — pick by situation.
