I wonder what that Army was supposed to fight if it can't defeat Ghost Riders? GR is level 9, so it should have been expecting to fight some serious opposition. GR are pretty good (if you cast 5 or so sets of them) at kicking out gems and killing off fodder from the Armies, but otherwise, they're just a tool to hunt down some annoying raiders, or to take down some overly well organized PD.

I've seen them do some rather amazing things. I once had 4 castings of Ghost Riders wipe out 3 Angelic Hosts, an Ivy King with a largish stack of Vine Ogres, and a newly summoned Lamia Queen (I remember thinking at the time that if I'd been able to script the Lamia Queen I would have survived, although it would still have been costly). This was quite some time ago, and I've learned a lot since then, but compute the relative value for yourself.

There was a large thread on this subject way back when. My only comment at the time was: "4 pages on *this*?", but now I wouldn't mind seeing Ghost Riders be made a bit more expensive.
