Hmmm, what about this one?

Virtue - air 9
Fortified City
Production, Order, Misfortune all +3
Other scales even, or if you want better econ and can deal with slower research, I'd suggest Growth and Drain both +2/+3
Dominion strength 6

Gives you great income, lots of Wardens that laugh at enemy/friendly fire, including your Crones' orb lightnings or wrathful skies, and hopefully you'll be able to spare some gold to max Warden production at your capital. You can't get nature-9 as efficiently I think.
