R1: Deploy a vine marker, conjure Mana flower and Vine tree treebond.
R2: deploy two vine markers. Deploy a creature (vine snapper if the enemy is rushing you, thornlasher if they're staying back.) cast blur on yourself and conjure a second mana flower.

The strategy here is a cat and mouse strategy. If the enemy mage tries to chase you, run away and deploy creatures to attack and hinder them behind you as you run. Bloodspine walls too. If the enemy mage tries to run away, chase them. Use tanglevines and stranglevines to trap them and use up their teleports, and beat them to death with your creatures and your vinewhip staff.

What do you think?

3 Nightshade Lotus are a bit overkill in my eyes. You lose important spellbook points and have not enough to bring in more Dispels/Dissolves.
Without these spells you will face a world of trouble against heavy armored mages.
Another problem could be zone attacks. A Death zone full of plants is a huge threat ... or a great opportunity for your opponent to hit hard where it hurts most. Think about using Fortified Position.
Akiro, I have never prayed to you before. No one will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that one stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Akiro... so grant me strength! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

In case of seeking dispel. Although I might want to use arcane ward instead. Hmm...

Cantrip entry from forcemaster vs warlord:

Cantrip:
Whenever this spell is destroyed, return it to the owner’s spellbook instead of their
discard pile.


It's nowhere stated that the enchantment should be revealed?   ???

When in doubt kill it with fire? I never doubt and crush them right away.

Yeah barkskin never goes away. The only way to get rid of one permanently is to obliterate it and there's currently no way to obliterate an enchantment. Regardless of whether or not its seeking dispelled (revealed or not) it so goes back in the book.

Oh. Whoops. I didn't realize that. I've been playing it wrong for a while then...

What about nullify?

Instead of dispelling barkskin you have to better counter it. It always goes back into the book, so you have to make it useless. Poisoned blood or deathlock against regen and rust in any way against armor.

Nullify will stop it that turn, but it will still resolve back to the book after being countered by nullify. Or divine intervention, or jinx, or arcane ward. There is currently no way at all to permanently destroy a cantrip enchantment.

And, do you find that a bad thing?

Nope.  I think it's a very well executed mechanic. Theres very few cantrip spells and they are all very thematic and very tough to abuse. I have no problem with any of them, barkskin  in particular, as the druid is one of my favorite mages. I think b likely the nastiest cantrip is probably galvitar.
But no ive no issue with cantrips in general. As long as they don't get out of hand.
