Strategy
Red Ghost is a evasive tempo engine that rewards you for drawing extra cards each turn. Since he can't be blocked and you create a hasty 3/3 Ape Villain token whenever you draw your second card, your gameplan revolves around doubling up on card draw effects—extra draw spells, cantrips, and effects like Pym Particles or The Mind Stone turn Red Ghost into a card-draw-fueled token generator. You're applying pressure early with an evasive 2/3, then snowballing into a board of hasty threats that come down "free" as long as you're hitting your draw triggers. The Ward {2} makes him surprisingly resilient, so he sticks around to keep cranking out apes turn after turn.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey card-draw like Mystic Remora; use Ponder, Preordain, and Expressive Iteration instead. Ape tokens are essentially free, so cheap cantrips do the job.
