Yes but the point is that it is better penetration on EVERY master, every cast. I am not talking 64 communicants, I am talking 8 communicants, 6 archs (just for example) and maybe a couple of spell focuses or a BotNS to help. Yes, against uber MR SCs, you won't get far but that was the point of why it's not the same for every pretender (and why I listed some other options *cough*). 18 MR SCs are quite reasonable to take down with astral. Try 6 quickened archs casting Enslave with 2-4 penetration (that's 12 MR checks per round with a 2-4 mod). I have picked up many SC's and national heroes that way (though mostly as Arco).
