Sandels of the Crane are the most useless IMHO. I can't envision any circumstance I'd ever use them. |

 Sandels of the Crane - 1) a poison golem wearing jade armor and wielding a banner of the damned
 2) A decently outfitted mummy
 3) A moderately tough guy with good reinvig who casts a few nasty battlefield enchantments then pops around unscripted casting some of those nasty short range spells.
 
 Sure, it's not foolproof, but for 5S it's got it's uses.

 |  Even a guy with a bladder-stick can do lots of damage. In fact I prefer that to a poison golem. The golem puts out a cloud no matter where he lands (even in your own troops) but a bladder stick only clouds if there is someone standing there for the guy to hit. There are a number of good area affect items, and even spells, which can have a great combat effect with the crane sandals. 
 
Items which toss out units can be good to give the crane guy also. Popping all over the battlefield and dropping a couple of units in each spot can mess up good formation planning by the other guy.
 
Its been particularly handy when going up against a well defended castle.

				 Re: MUST-HAVE..... MUST-GET-FIRST Unique Item 
 The sandals of the crane can land the commander/mage in a deadly scenario of the wrong batch of enemies.  If using the sandels of the crane then I'd recommend a commander/mage which has ritual of returning and enough hitpoints to take a 15hitpoint blow.

 Blow of war! Ha!
 I am a sucker for the pocket lich, the headless holburg, the pocket knight, and Nethgul or whatever.
