2 Paralyze Bugs(In 2.08, no less!)

The real benefit of immortality on a pretender is that as long as you remain in your dominion, you can use all of the fodder you want, and not be forced into autorout when it dies.

Dying, especially with items, is still an inconvenient nuisance, even if you are immortal, and particularly if you lack any means of teleportation back to the fight. Besides, it's shameful and humiliating, unless you do so in a way which makes it clear that you intended a suicide run.

Also, immortality heals afflictions, which is nice, especially since you're sure to acquire some as you die messily. Last but not least, heavy use of immortal SCs in general is fun because it's absolutely devastating to enemy morale: "You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I'll just come back and pick up all my stuff."

I've won games because the other player gave up in despair at being unable to kill my Vampire Queens.
