That's rather silly HB, its not a matter of you planning on fighting a stupid opponent. There are plenty of times you can catch even an expert player off guard with a maneuver they weren't expecting - that's the whole point of pitting your wits against somebody else in a strategy game. It'd be one thing if this was a goto spell that pretty much anyone attacking LA Atlantis knew they'd be seeing spammed every turn(like, say, expecting mind hunt from Arcoscephale). The very fact that it's such a niche spell means that even a well prepared opponent might choose not to allocate his resources towards countering it, or forget about it briefly during the course of a war, or unintentionally find himself vulnerable due to something like his troops splitting up, or intentionally make himself vulnerable in pursuing a goal (ie cloud trapezing in somebody who blew through his gems taking out PD and is now vulnerable). Is it a stupid opponent who has his rainbow pretender out site searching year two when you happen to spot him with a scout? Is it a stupid opponent who has mostly expensive cap only mages in his cap along with most of his boosters? Is it a stupid opponent who has only expensive mages to bloodhunt who are out with no bodyguards counting on the PD to help in defense? Is it a stupid opponent who doesn't meticulously assign bodyguards to every troop herding indie commander he uses? The whole point is it's sitting there, available to be used with no preparation if you see an opportunity to do so - which I firmly believe are not so rare if you use a bit of cleverness.
