Remember there's a minor damaging effect (2 AN?) PLUS an MR-resisted death check. Stygian Paths is less preferable than Gateway if you've got it (just land an SC, have him build a lab on the next round). However, if you don't have Astral access and you have a lot of capital-dependent troops (e.g. you're Helheim) it can be very nice for moving troops to the front and/or on top of enemy SCs.
