[Shovah32]

Another strategy is to completely trash your scales and get a good bless and a powerful SC pretender such as:
Moloch
Dominion 9
F9W9B3(or B4 and luck 2)
Turmoil 3
Sloth 3
Heat 3(it dosnt spread that fast)
Luck 3
Drain 2
Imprisoned

When your god breaks out you get a 55 health(0 dom province), strength 18, 15 protection(unarmoured), 24 attack, 22 defence(unequipped), fear causing flyer with awe, a heat aura and full slots and decent buffing paths(fireshield, phoenix pyre, quicken self, breath o' winter) and good combat paths(F9/W9).
Your scales suck and will probably cause you not to be too great very early on(until your tough sacreds get up to speed) or very late on(where your moloch gets blown off the battlefield as soon as he appears) but it can be fun to play, particularly for someonce such as myself who loves SCs.
