I like it!
4 grounds seems a bit excessive.
1 bear strength and no knight's courage?
1 dispel/seeking/dissolve of course catch my eye. ;)

Does you meta have little to no equipment? Also how do you deal with large numbers of enchantments?
-
How do you plan to open? Forge and Ehren? How do you deal with Deathlock in the far corner? With your mage stuck in the starting corner at the start of turn 2, you can't make use of both Ballista and Force Hammer on turn 2, for example.

Well I'm pretty sure he opens like this (since we've discussed the book concept and strat several times).
Turn 1: Bim + Ehren
Turn 2: Martyrs + forge
Turn 3: Deploy Ironvine, cast angel and buff/ cast a two Mana spell.
Tbh, if they deathlock that early, it's likely going slightly your favor as it's out of their book fast. And Paladin and friends put on the hurt so them not being able to regain life/heal/regen/most types of transfer dmg is always nice.
I have a pretty similar book although recently I don't cast martyrs on Ehren that early since I can let Bim heal him naturally or put regrowth/lifelink on him. I don't play a timed match though and Grizz typically does, so for his book and the conditions under which he plays, it makes perfect sense.

That's one of my openings. I'm also opening with a forge and stepping with an enchantment. There's a few openings and I'll go into them when I'm not at a tournament.

What have you being doing vs deathlocks early? Or have you not faced any?
-
I've been glad my opponent decided we should deal with it early. I'll Eye 4 an Eye and see how they want to take their damage and mine a turn while ibget my ballista.

Sounds pretty similar to what I was thinking!
How does your mage do with 4 dice most likely? Since you only have BS that is.

Anyone? I'm running out of time

I can get it to 6 easy and 8 temporarily. 7 is average.

Hmm. 4+2+1? What happens if they remove the strength.
I share Beldin's concern: how do you deal with defense + wands for example. Or not die vs heavy curse?
Overall, it looks to be a pretty solid book though.
-
There's ways to handle just about anything in there. I don't lose my wand much I'll note.

Hmm. Interesting.
What do you generually put on the wand or does it really depend on matchup?
-
It all depends.
