Thanks for the quick feedback!

- The Mod Title says "MA Nation: Mistica", which kinda confused me
Whoops, I had gone back and forth on MA/LA a few times, and looks like I missed that reference.

Sacred is unintentional, a side effect of copying the base juggernaut. Since the domspread can be added now, I don't need to do that, so it should be easy to fix.

As for cheapness, costs are a first stab. However, I was comparing vs. the Oracle (which I consider a default choice for a scales approach), with it hopefully being a slightly better option as a national pretender chassis. Compared to the CBM Oracle, the meaningful comparisons(it seems to me) are:
* +1 starting dom
* additional juggernaut dom spread ability
* -1 astral
* not immobile (although only barely)
* no fortuneteller ability
* much better HP
* somewhat worse protection
* trample (probably only marginally useful given the AP of 4...)
* 2 fewer misc slots
* same new-path cost (40)

Doesn't seem too out there; am I missing other factors that I should be weighing more heavily?

Whoops, that's a side-effect of the copystatting from Leo to get the heretic ability. Hopefully explicitly setting #poorleader will overwrite that...
