No, they are not. They lack Bane`s 0 enc., prophetizing them doesn`t give you reanimation abilities and they are vulneurable to numbness/frozen heart.

It also has a 2 decent evocations (Sleep Cloud and Storm of Thorns) of which one is quite early.

If you wish to expend some gems, Nature has the very useful Swarm and Howl Spells. Summoning Sprites also has significant niche uses.

But you still lack astral for luck and AMA.
I think CBM was quite succesfull in boosting formerly weak nations such as MA Man and MA ulm into competetive levels, labelling MA Man as overpowered is quite the insult to the likes of Pythium or Shinuyama though.[/quote]

Rubbish, you aren`t going to have that many spare air gems as Man. And air boosters are the most expensive ones.
