It's not anywhere near as expensive as it should be, Quantum. the Dracolich is way overpowered.

In the battle I faught with Jurri, if it was a VQ, there would have been no problem and I wouldn't have taken many losses. But the Dracolich has 300+ hp, so it was able to stand up to my flambeau-wielding bane lords, and with some help of a conveniently placed castle, it eventually won the battle.

Of course even if it had lost, it'd be there again the next turn. Same with the VQ, sure, but the VQ is just so much easier to beat, seeing as it doesn't even have 100 hps, right? That's a one-shot kill with a flambeau, problem solved.
It is much like Miasma C'tis, they are powerful, but dominion is everything. If you have strong dominion, they are suddenly quite vulnerable on the offensive. And while conquering them is a pain, if you can contain the dominion, the horrible scales they need means they can be worn down.

If you are truly convinced of thier power, we could try a duel sometime where you take the dracolich.
