Classic Builds

[HoneyBadger]

With various discussions of AI in mind, one solution in particular has presented itself, that of starting a new game and setting one's opponents "by hand" so that the single player game AI is not at a randomly imposed disadvantage-example, creating a Helheim nation with W9/F9 bless. Because of this, and because it also may serve as a source of education/inspiration particularly to newer players, I propose a thread which will feature (hopefully) insightful, well-crafted, and time-tested Nation/Pretender designs, preferrably by experienced and talented players, but I'll also be posting to it, so anyone who thinks they have a good strategy is welcome, and the rest of us are welcome to critique, or even compliment, the proposed "Classic Builds".

Note: Designs should feature a Pretender (or "type" of Pretender, such as Human Rainbow, but specifics are preferred), specific Nation, Nation Scales, and the Pretender's Magic.
Thanks ahead and happy holidays to everyone who contributes! (Sorry, those who don't contribute will be recieving coal this year from Santa or whichever other super hero/higher power/flying spaghetti monster you happen to worship when things get rough.)
