That does leave them with no death or blood, which is unfortunate.

Do you really need death/blood when you have harbringers and angels of fury?

You don't necessarily need it, but you want it. It's just that I value nature more highly - CMB dropped the cost of Gift of Reason to 6 N, and Angelic Host brings a lot of troop Harbringers. 6N for a Harbringer is a steal, even in the late game.

What I am thinking of right now for a pretender is a

Great Enchantress
Dominion 6
F1A4E4S3D2
Order 3
Production 3
Heat 2
Growth 0
Misfortune 3
Magic 0

Broadly speaking, I'd be wary of Misfortune 3. Moreover, you probably don't particularly need F1 on the pretender, and I'd hesitate to use a rainbow with Marignon in any case.

What would you use?

E9N6 Imprisoned Cyclops, probably, with fairly high skills and moderate dominion. Inquisitors let you get by with a little less dominion than most, but I wouldn't go below 4, and even 4 is pushing it.
