I haven't tried it yet, but the Smoking Mirror looks interesting to me for Mictlan. Perhaps 4 in Fire, Death, Blood, and Water.

+2 Attack, Defense, Strength, and Fear seems decent on their quite cheap sacred troops. I espeically like the Eagle warriors.

Their sacred troops are so cheap however that I'm not sure you can get much out of concentrating on them.

I tried Smoking Mirror first up without good results.

The decisive question for me with Mictlan is what do you use as the basis for your army? The slingers are, in my experiance, more danger to your own troops than the enemy and most of the infantry is simply not up to the job. The only thing I have found that has real shown promise early is the Warriors of the Sun who work well with the extra +2 strength, quickness and +4 def from the Fountain of Blood (blood5 water9). However I have along way to go before I'm comfortable with playing Mictlan.

The Eagle Warriors look very cute and might work well later but as yet I haven't got them to work early.
