OP or not?
My reasons for running this:
Free draft = best attacker OOP, easy first win
You don't have to run as many banks to fully build an army, you can now take your wizzies up to 2+ and become a pain in the ass for elves(who have reduced WPA + less runes).
Couple this with war hero, your troops are now trained before your army returns(I know they're not elites but you can work around it). + drag effects and plague...
Besides fireballs, what other scenarios would completely counter this build? What other builds would you play with or besides the orc?
Take into account the reduced runes generated by mystics and the possibility to even think about fire balling a KD full of orcs.
