That's a lot of dispel Scrolls. Are you planning on shutting down their entire phase? I guess for 150points no one is casting Gateway at you.

Could be nasty to face but I am concerned by your lack of "throw away" units - all I see is the duellists. The Alcatani Fellowship is your mage bunker I assume?

One mage and Paymaster in Voland's unit and the level 2 in the pikes. Yes, Dogs of War heroes can join Regiments of Renown, unlike all other army heroes.

6 scrolls, one for each round of magic. With my luck I'll face only Dwarfs.

To be fair, there isn't much else worth taking for Dogs of War wizards anyway!

How is that unlucky? Their combat magic is the deadliest in the game!
