on that yardstick, ghostriders is too good a deal. I love them, and use them all the time, but I think bumping up their cost, even to say 7 death gems, would be a good thing. As it is they are just one of the many things that makes castling such a necessary strategy, as the open lands are so dangerous.
I don't see why it makes castling necessary. Sure you'd castle your best and strategically important provinces, but otherwise, what do you keep in the open lands which makes you afraid of GR? If the enemy wants to spend 5 gems to "neutralize" your 10 gold, 1 gem income province, better for you, those 5 gems could've been used for something nastier.
When you only castle the important provinces with e.g. a citadel or high admin castle then you won't have a lot temples .

So to protect your temples a bit you normally castle .
Otherwise you get probably either dominionproblems or the enemy kills your temples with ghost riders / other raiders always .
