"just put a speedpack in"
A speedpack is really expensive. If you couple that with troops, the Ghost needs at least 8k additional gold to be competitive and it has nearly no weapons at that point, so without the creeps currently spawned it is useless. At the time the Ghost reaches speed pack, troops and a weapon like ice cannon there are Sky Tanks, Earths and probably even Frost Robots running around or at least very close and your ghost has still only 4-6k hp at that point.
