Getting a blood economy going

Meh. If you're a blood nation, you can easily drive enemy dominion before you with the power of Blood Sacrifice, insuring that your vampires will always be able to fight in friendly dominion, and thus are immortal. Very few SCs hold up well against a Mile Wide Mass Of Vampires. In addition, the Vampire Lords themselves are formidable SCs and can very well attempt going toe-to-toe against the opponent.

Devils - maybe. Devils are expensive to throw away in this fashion, even if you have soul contracts. Devils are part of this complete breakfast.

Devils can be very effective at mauling many types of SCs, due to their innate high attack Ratings and ability to fly. They're also easy to replace, especially if you have soul contracts, which means you can easily be generating dozens, or even as many as a hundred, devils per turn.

Their heat auras have also been known to induce combustion, and fatigue....even on things which seems to be fireimmune, although this part is unconfirmed.
