Mictlan , how to play it effectively

As for the death scales, this works well on shorter games. But in a long game, death 3 is certain death to Mictlan. No blood hunting means you will die extremely fast to a diminion kill in the late game. The only alternative from dying is building up to wish by having a hundred or so clams working for you.

Yeah this is the true power of mictlan imo . You have both worlds , clamhoarding AND blood .
You are horrible fragile earlygame but then if you aren't totally unlucky with sitesearching you can bloodhunt and soon start clamhoarding too .
Since you don't need so many gems you can clamhoard probably even a bit better than e.g. pythium .
If mictlan is left alone long enough it is frightening .
Earlygame it is weak so this is the biggest problem .
