On the effective early use of Pretenders in combat

This is all true, however a Void Lord can be just as potetent by Turn 5-6 as a your Earth Magic VQ. More so, in fact.

I can have Alt 3, Enc 1 (maybe 2)... and 2 Ice swords...

Thus: (Ouickness)(Body Ethereal)(Personal Luck) (Breath of Winter)

With a protection of 14, Defense 20 (thank you ice swords), HP 88, Etherealness and Luck, Breath of Winter and Fear... encumberance 2, with a life drain attack.

And of course that's only the beginning... regeneration will be there next turn... astral shield soon after... add a Horror Helmet and... well, you get the picture.

My major point is, that having an "invincible" SC by turn 6-7 is not that hard.

VQ's are great, but I don't think they're as uber as they're made out to be.

But of course, the VQ is available to virtually everybody, whereas the Void Lord is available to only one nation. So that is a massive difference there.
