Garnet Amazons are the luck bit. The scout bit is the hard work, as you're spending quite a while getting things to the point where you have an ongoing Blood economy.

Edit: I wasn't as clear as I might have been. Hard work = spending a lot of turns in this case - there isn't that much admin, but you'll need quite a few turns of preparation and searching before you get even 1 B1 mage out of it.
