I like this build a lot, so much im going to give it a try myself , sadly i only play a few games/month but..

Im an inexperienced player, so you should regard the following more as my thoughts/questions, than me trying to come up with advice.

With all the creatures you have, it seems you need
1) a spawnpoint, if you want a decent chance of bringing more of them out or

2) you could cut down on creatures, and try to include more enchantments and incantations instead.

If we are going to include more enchanments the following is what i came up with
[mwcard=MWSTX1CKJ01]Enchanter's Wardstone[/mwcard]

I almost never see this in spellbooks posted. Here it seems called for. Theres a lot of stuff you really want your opponent not to remove:
[mwcard=MWSTX2FFE02]Akiro's Favor[/mwcard]

[mwcard=MWSTX1CKE01]Armor Ward[/mwcard] (especially because of the [mwcard=MW1Q08]Elemental Wand[/mwcard]?)
[mwcard=MW1E01]Bear Strength[/mwcard]

and you could use more enchantments:
[mwcard=MWSTX2FFE04]Brace Yourself[/mwcard](as you already mentioned instead of defend)
[mwcard=MWSTX1CKE03]Healing Charm[/mwcard] ( i see this as a banked healing action)
[mwcard=MW1E36]Rhino Hide[/mwcard]

[mwcard=MW1E33]Retaliate[/mwcard]

[mwcard=MW1E32]Regrowth[/mwcard]

[mwcard=MW1E06]Circle of Lightning[/mwcard] (expensive spellbookwise but you are trying to daze/stun your opponent a lot)
and with the [mwcard=MW1J04]Battle Forge[/mwcard] and all those enchantments
[mwcard=MW1Q09]Enchanter's Ring[/mwcard]becomes natural.

The Holy Avenger plan seems a little odd (even as you said it worked fine, as your opponent spent more mana than you) but id think id prefer to use it on the [mwcard=MW1C20]Highland Unicorn[/mwcard] instead?
Might include the Crown of Protection but again you probably don´t have the time to give your Unicorn a little extra armor. An [mwcard=MWSTX2FFE04]Brace Yourself[/mwcard] is probably a much better idea for armor.
The Unicorn seems to be a really good companion for this mage, if the try to flee from your mage, they have to worry about that 14 hp charging Unicorn.

Other than that, against a curseheavy opponent there might be a problem. Maybe a [mwcard=MWSTX1CKQ05]Dispel Wand[/mwcard] or more [mwcard=MW1I06]Dispel[/mwcard]?

Mage Wars damage dice:
2 blanks
1 normal hits
1 critical hits
2 normal hits
2 critical hits

So if we roll 4 dice we will roll 4 damage on average (2 normal and 2 critical?)

But if i want to know how big is the chance of rolling 5+ damage.

And how do you make calculations when armor is envolved: like to take down a Mana Crystal (2 armor 6hp)
How likely am i to take it Down in how many rounds with
3 dice attack
4 dice attack
5 dice attack
6 dice attack

Most importantly i want to be able to do rough estimates at the table. Any advice/recomendations?

Tx. for the fast reply.

We did play it like that.

So after being hit by her own arrows , and weakened - twice - to the point of exhaustion, she finally managed to weaken that evil Warlock 

Well a more simple plan for a Wizard vs a Beastmaster is to cast a Mana Crystal (or another zone exclusive conjuration) in the NC. That is if the Wizard wins the initiative.

Now a swarm beastmaster strategy is going to be a lot slower.

Well i only own five Thunder Falcons so that makes bats an obvious choice 
I was thinking about making the bat pet instead?
Summoning it early would be nice, but thats probably to slow?

Hi!

Im new to the forum and pretty new to Mage Wars in general. I still love to push people through and into walls 

If a flying creature with push, smashed someone down into the arena floor, would that give the extra 3 dice attack? (for bashing some into a wall with the passage blocked trait)

And can a non-flying creature or conjuration, pick a flying creature in the same zone, from the sky and do the same? (with f.x Jet Stream)
