As far as I can tell, Looming Hell is the "poor man's Dispel" for blood nations. You can put so many Blood Slaves into it that it'll dispel any other non-blood Global that it goes up against and it doesn't have a downside for you like Astral Corruption.

Illwinter is the same. The fact that the upsides aren't that good and it has no downside for you means that it is ideal for knocking down globals.
