Things are not so straight, Septimus.
Tell me, which MA nations have easy access to F5 without needing pretender? I will answer: Marignon, Ashdod and Shinuyama. Actually even F6 is not rare and this is perfectly enough for casting King of Elemental Fire or anything fire-based. Who in the world needs Bakemono Kinshu? In my opinion, he is just a crappy pretender that is rather hard to make something valuable with. You may disable or enable him but I would never seriously think of taking him either way.
Moloch, OTOH, is a potent SC that doesn't need much gear to be effective right off the bat. And yes, I think he is very thematic for Abysia who is a fire-blood nation and although I don't want to strengthen the opponents, I don't mind them having the Moloch. Vampire Queen? I don't mind as well. Tartarian Gate can be achieved in numerous ways even with blood team's pretender restrictions and Vampire Queen is even nearly not the most effective of them.
