Bro, you need to re-read that story. Nightmare was only threatening the the Earth and it's alternate time lines only because he had Eternity bound in his custody after it's battle with Dormammu. Back in the day, it only represented time and so on, not the Universe etc.
And that was only because he allowed it to happen:

What I'm saying is that Nightmare probably would have put beat down on just about anybody at the time, and who did Strange call in to help out of all the people he knew of, that included Thor, all the higher powers. He chose the Juggernaut, and the Juggernaut did extremely well considering how powerful Nightmare was depicted at the time.
Not really. And the only reason he didn't lose to Strange like always was because he learned some new counter spell to turn the eye against him:
IIRC, he lost like usual the next time they met. Meh, Juggernaut and the spells he learned made him a powerful ally but that in no way means he considered him more powerful than some of his other acquaintances. He was also in a similar dimension IIRC.

Once again that Nightmare was a) threatening all of reality, and b) had crushed classic Strange. That alone shows you the power level he was operating on at the time and Cain went toe to toe with him and was even able to effect Nightmare with his own power, and wasn't visibly hurt at the end of the fight. Hell Cain was getting to try and take on Eternity if you wanna know how uninjured he was.I'm betting that Nightmare would have given Odin a good fight considering everything that was going.
There were unusual circumstances to both (a) and (b).
I agree, this was probably Juggernaut's best showing:
And it's pretty awesome, he held his own against a Fear Lord on their turf but let's not turn it into something it's not.
Take on Odin? Lol, nah. Nightmare would most likely have to be having a good day to beat Loki from what I've read. For the record, just because this was classic Strange in no ways means that he was operating at one of his all time highs like most think.
Those mystical powers would definitely be a boon (Not as much against Odin who is himself an expert sorcerer) but it doesn't really matter as he lost them.
