Well the beauty of the high D or B pretender, is that their collateral benefit is gained through Rituals, safely cast back home.

Some nations' armies can become obscenely powerful if suddenly supported with Fog Warriors, or Mass Flight.
I actually had a powerful army (as MA R'lyeh) with 20+ member communion absolutely decimated, by AoE casting Mass Flight on about 100 Slave Warriors, and sending them straight at me. All of my mages blew off their evocations at the slaves, killing droves of my own men (and some of my own mages!) with friendly fire. We were in bad shape once the enemy line got to us.
And Chris, that's silly. Obviously using B9 Flags as a deterrent would be a pretty expert tactic (if it even worked at all), and your tactics would revolve around deploying the hazardous cargo to their targets.
I think the only real problem, is that even if were not resistible, the effect would still likely be too weak to make a really profound difference.
