In the current game I'm playing I took Order 2, Luck 2, Growth 2, Magic 2 with Machaka and by turn 40 I've had at least 20 750+ gold events and a host of others.
I bought some of those scales with sloth and heat and a sleeping pretender with rather unimpressive magics but decent dominion.
I could have gone with magic 1, but would probably have had less good events. The growth scales with the others have guaranteed freedom from barbarian invasions and plague events, all of which cause poploss and if you have death or misfortune (or worse, both), those pile up fast and wreck your empire.
Not that this build would work in MP, but that's one anecdote against the other negative ones.
