Why would they summon their new national summons when they can always cranck out Devils?

What are the national summons for Mictlan?

Lots of things with complex mesoamerican names. Tlaloque and Onaqui pop into my mind first.

Those are Aztec/Mayan names.

TLALOC, the rain deity, belonged to another most memorable and universal cult of ancient Mexico.The name may be Aztec, but the idea of a storm god especially identified with mountaintop shrines and life-giving rain was certainly as old as Teotihuacan. The primary temple of this major deity was located atop Mt. Tlaloc, where human victims were sacrificed to fertilize water-rocks within the sacred enclosure. In Tenochtitlan another Tlaloc temple shared the platform atop the dual Main Pyramid, a symbolic mountain.

I'd prefer that a nation have more possible strategies, not fewer.

Devils might be nerfed. Tzitzimitl star demons might be powerful. Or they might just be more fun.
