Of course, depending on the Victory Conditions it could/couldnot be as exploitive. Especially if you are playing on a larger map, because it gives the R'lyeh more time. A Vastness can take out most anything, including magical attacks (like Ashen Angels and Earth Attacks) and with a movement of 10, they can just jump with impunity wherever they want and you can't touch them.

There is a limit to things like Demon Lords (or is supposed to be, I've been able to get multiples, but I'm sure this is a bug), why not Vastnesses?

Perfectly acceptable considering they can get them any turn after 15+ or switch in and out summoners in order to try to 'maximize' the Vastness summoning.

Edit: A properly used Vastness can take out 80-100 Troops without much danger to themselves. But, as it's been said before, it's all in the equipment. Blood Vengance is a killer.
