I've had the chance to play two MP games with MA Abysia.
Usually I can find the good points in whatever nation I'm playing. With MA Abysia I found little and certainly its worse than it used to be in dom-II and I.

Old age is major factor in making it bad.
Then you have the death scale issues - Which was explained by length in previous threads.

E9 bless is nice for Aby but not very practical since they really need a rainbow pretender.

Also, they should have a low level fire summoning spells. Like spectral infantry but fire only.

Oh and I certainly agree the "2F2B flying mage" is the best thing about MA Aby. I usually recruit them exclusively.
