Fire9 and Astral9 for Ermor... gives you hard-hitting, lucky ethereal (immortal in CB) shadow vestals. Actually, I've never tried it, considering I like good scales... and it wouldn't be a good offensive strategy anyway.

Mictlan, FOB, W9F9B9/10

Gives you amazing earlygame sacreds and good blood hunting with the Fob.
If your enemy has not a good SC god he is probably in trouble, and even the SC god is often in trouble since your eagle warriors can attack him before buffing and the jaguars are quite good, and sometimes you luck and curse him with the b9 curse.
Normally i wouldn't take the b9 bless but for mictlan it is quite good.
Also note that your god can summon most of the blood royality without any powerup items .

The best bless, of course, is A10E10F10W10S10D10N10B10. For some reason there is no pretender that would allow for this combination.

On realistic games, I might take e.g. Fire 9 Air 6 Phoenix for Man, Tuatha, Vanheim etc, or W9E4 if I wanted to have fun with Claymen.

"Best" is relative, though. The one I used in my thus far only DomII multiplayer game was Water 9 Son of Niefel, with Utgård theme. The blessing itself wouldn't have been worth it, I'm not sure if I recruited a single Woodsman in the whole game. However, it made every Jotun Herse a force to be feared. My Seithokna researched Evocation at top speed, and I was able to start using Falling Frost surprisingly soon. Quick drop to Alteration two doupled the mayhem, and Sudenhuuto amassed hundreds of kills in few turns. My Seithokna researched continuously until Evocation 7, at which point I could have transformed my army of resesarchers into army of Eagle-Eyed Nether Darters.
