I think that death bless is very good for cheap sacreds that you can amass. My games with mictlan convinced me that for jags and eagles death bless is very, very good. However, they both need a boost to attack to be able to counter high defense (and vine shield) SC's. With D9 bless a normal SC doesn't really need to be killed - hitting several times is enough and even if you lose the fight it will be victory.
From what I played and experienced an imprisoned D9W9F4 PoD is splendid for EA\LA Mictlan in many aspects. And your scales won't be that bad with him...
