Some summons are situationally useful.
Claymen, for instance, when facing R'lyeh on the land. Cheap enough to form a frontline, regenerating construct that doesn't need a lab. Mindless, so makes a good frontline versus mindblasters, as long as you've got something other than your leaders for R'lyeh to target, say some deadly archers. And R'lyeh has little protection, to boot. They're poor amphibians, to boot. So they won't be great invading, but counter-attacking they can be quite useful underwater if they need not face the main force. Did I mention that pesky poisoned coral?

Thats the kind of thing I was looking for.
I mean, in a recent test game as LA Atlantis I made four Winter Drakes and was quite happy with their ability to sit near the front on Fire Closest and whip on the enemy with their Area 2 frost breath attack.
Was I twenty-four Water gems happy? I don't know. They were pretty nice though, and most likely reduced my casualties of home only troops.
