Ummm, F9D9 is about the dumbest bless you can take. For Mictlan the best bless is probably something like S9F9, S9W9, or W9F9

Why S9? S4 maxes out the Jag fiends MR as far as bless goes. It might be nice to have on the pretender though. It's alot to pay for twist fate. I could see it possibly for preventing death do to archers... but you can just use slaves or x-breeds for that.

It's for the twist fate. It's not super-awesome for early game, but against late game evocations twist fate is exceedingly useful. And in the meantime it does reduce casualties to archer fire.

S9 means it will take at minimum 3 hits to kill every jag. It also does wonders in lessening you losses in early game to that one lucky arrow that hits your priest. Also, S9 is one of the best late game pretenders to have. If EA had the Oracle it'd be even more of a no-brainer.

IMO, mictlan really screams triple bless. Personally were I playing them, I would probably play something along the lines of W9F9N4+, or W9F9B4+, depending on how many giant nations were in the game. I'd have to play around a bit first though, I'm not a mictlan player so I don't know how the points work out. I've seen similar blesses used against me though, quite effectively I might add.
