True enough. I would be more worried about SC's though. While Mictlain may get some of them I doubt he will get all of them. A properly equipped ID can take on as many normal devils as you can throw at it. And the SC's cost less total resources to make a fearsome fighting machine than soul contracts do.

I'm surprised to see your concern about Ice Devils (I assume ID=Ice Devil, right?). When playing Abysia, I skip Ice Devils and go right to Arch Devils. Doesn't summoning Ice Devils require getting a Warlock whose random is 1W, forging a water bracelet, then empowering a Warlock on top of that? And, then when you're done with that they still don't have fire immunity, and have a cold aura that certainly isn't compatible with your army. I would've guessed that it's smarter to let Mictlan have the Ice Devils, and make sure that you beat Mictlan to the punch in summoning Arch Devils.
