For me, 2 Ghoul is perfect because I really don't want to hit multiples as I can really only ever reliably return one a turn. His power is very relevant as well; as against grindy matches like stoneblade, that 3 power can make or break you. He also trades with Delvers, Mongeese, Hatebears, and Mystics, which can be helpful.
Edit: Beaten haha.
