Confirm a few things

That's even better, thank you. And yes, royal griffins would probably be the most effective. They have a reasonable amount of health so I'm less likely to lose them when trying to do no-loss battles, and their summons are immensely useful for controlling losses as well.

I have a bunch of snake eggs and griffin eggs, which I assume with produce crap units (the weakest of the creature series), so it's nice to finally have a use for them.

Royal Griffons are very common on Verona, so don't assume you need to summon them. I'd strongly recommend Dryads instead.

Heal at level 2 is substantially better than level 1. It costs less and heals more. Level 3 is 1 mana for a heal large enough to heal dragons. Some pretty powerful early game strategies involve using just a single Green Dragon, with stone skin, and healing it.

Nice. I have L2 for both magic trees (distortion and the healing one, name escapes me) and it's helping a lot. It's nice that the heal spell finally does something worth while. Unfortunately many of the L2 distortion spells are pricey in mana. Glad I have a dragon that converts rage to mana.

Unfortunately my dragon sword's morale dropped too low and it's no longer helping me. *grumble*

You can always "suppress" the item , if you have enough army to fight the keepers.

Not yet. When I tried it out to see how nasty the battle would be, I got my butt handed to me. I didn't have much problem suppressing the axe in the storyline (trying to avoid spoilers), but this battle was an order of magnitude or two harder.
