Back to this question after some tests, and some experience with Mictlan. IMHO the chance to expand dominion with blood sacrifice is _very_ limited, and _much_ less than a ordinary "temple check".

Are you sure that your sacrificers still have slaves on them when you submit the turn? They won't actually sacrifice any if you use the pool slaves button, but will grab some more at the beginning of the next turn.

If I understand correctly, the pretender alone, by his mere presence in the capital, has a bigger effect in the first turns than the possible 2 slaves sacrifice with a Mictlan Priest!

Your pretender only has a single strength 10 check with Mictlan, so no, even with your numbers he's still weaker.
