Probably works best for a giant nation, where you are going to be far more resource limited than Holy limited, and you can rely on fewer, more powerful troops.

Also worth noting, with a garbage-scales-uber-bless strat, even more useful than low starting Dom, is not making a prophet, if you can get away with it. He'll often drop a single candle in every province he lands in, insuring that unless your opponent has an aggressive dominion, you will propagate your bad scales with little effort involved.
