This was two years ago and was more of a consensus-based opinion than it was a well-documented breakdown of mechanics opinion. I'm more than open to the idea that over time it proved to be a powerful nation, but I'd like to see more explanation therein -- what made it one of the top 5? Some further discussion of how DomIII's changes will affect Mictlan would also be welcome.
For my part, I loved their theme. I just couldn't play them worth a lick. ;-)

Well, they really had two big things going for them- some of the best sacred troops in the game, and the best blood hunters. Given that blood magic and blesses are two of the most powerful (some would say overpowered) tactics in dom2, it was a powerful combination.
So early game, their saceds were a terror with f9w9 and middle and late game they could dominate with devils, fiends and unique blood scs. The power of their blood hunters was even better when combined with all their free patrollers tribal kings generated.
As for how this has changed in dom3, they are weaker in some ways (mostly due to some blood magic nerfs), but stronger in others (new unique summons), so overall I would still rate them a top-notch nation.
