haven't had the pleasure of seeing a Dragon pretender on MP yet, but than again my MP career is pretty short... however, yeah they can be a decent single bless chassis, but most of the times you'll have a better option. for example the blue dragon, why not take any of the various W1/W2 pretenders instead? for example the Mother of Rivers, Father of Winters, Son of the Sea, Dagon, Lady of Springs, etc. all of these are either better SCs later on due to better item slots or do useful things like generating water gems, taking troops under water, etc. yes the Dragon will win on the short run, but if you're going for a W9 bless than you rely on your sacreds for a quick expansion, hence no need for a turn 1 SC pretender in the first place...

yeah, they're great early game SCs but lose their utility really fast and become pretty useless with just 1 path of magic, or an expensive as hell 2nd path, and no good item slots...
