Well, 93% phantom health means that you phantom 93% of any stack, which is a lot of additional firepower. I assume you know the phantom demonologists/royal griffins trick which will make the phantomed units summon permanent stacks.
Death star can hit EVERY unit its rays come in contact with (including your own, so a little planning is needed). Against Arnold Heninghem, I was hitting 5-6 units for 8000+ damage every turn. That equals a lot of units down in a single cast. His red dragons were down before they even managed to get to my weaker stacks. His paladins were down 50% before they ever managed to swing at my own tanks.
There is more to the mage than what meets the eye. I was heavily biased against her for quite some time, because she's such a lousy starter. Since I managed to do the no-loss victory with her (a thing that I wasn't even sure that it's possible), I no longer consider her the weakest of them all.
Take a look at this video. I did that with a paladin, but I am sure I can do better with a mage, because of the new artifacts in the gift bag that add astral resistance, which means armageddon will hit my units for much less. It's all down to some Evlin afterwards to ress the losses.
I hope you like it
