LOL, I just loaded up an EA Abyssian pretender with those scales and got Malphas(The shapechanging warlock hero) on turn 3, and the crown of death event in an outlying territory on turn4 (netted 27 death gems).
EA Tienchi is really nice with all high res med gold units, a Lord of Fortune for even more extra luck, and Turmoil\Luck dominion. It even fits thematically(Three Kingdoms with chaos), and I remember stacking up HUGE rewards from all events, the 3000 Gold event was awesome.
