For a race with recruitable blood mages I'd be inclined to agree with you, but B4 on a pretender can be a great kick-start for a non-blood nation like Caelum or Arco.

It is a kick start, but only by around 10 turns. Unless I'm extremely unlucky, I can usually have a b3 mage by turn 30-40 for any nation, just working with blood randoms. And blood hunting with your pretender is usually a waste unless you happen to be using a blood fountain.
