I bet your mirror surprised frosty even more! This is my kind of game, all about positioning and light/summoning support  Haven lost a lot of pressure by failing to charge with champions on first turn but that seraph dv was brutal! Would have been hilarious if mirrored but the risk was totally worth it.
Frosty has earned himself a Retribution achievement

Not unexpectedly, LordMichal's Fortress literally burned my Necro to the ground.
It was fun, however, noting his good moves (spells and runes, I mean, since he turtled like a master toad ).
It was also fun using the "unkillable" Phoenix with Arcane Armour and Regeneration. Too bad that with 3 att. against 17 def. it was like hitting a wall most of the time. And with 10 spower my Puppet Master was just a more expensive Blind 
He has the save, cheers.

Three games for today! Thank you guys for nice games! WP
vs Aionb - WIN - Fortress vs Necro
- high sp for destro minded fortress did the job.
- replay: http://www.filedropper.com/lmvsaionb
vs Gameslayer - LOSS - Necro vs Orcs
- weak mass spells, no pupet master was the defference between clash of two perfect builds. I was unable to destroy his warmachines (that upgraded tent is ridiculous) and cast battle frenzy (perfect positioning from my opponent). Expert shatter is working nicely, summon didnt help much. If you like the shape and sound of morale effect, you should watch this game
- replay: http://www.filedropper.com/lmvsgameslayer
vs Green_Dragon - WIN - Fortress vs Academy
- fortress proved to be favourable in this match up
- replay: http://www.filedropper.com/lmvsdragon

Apart from LM_vs_Dragon, I couldn't see the other ones, they didn't appear in combat replays. I made triple sure they were added correctly, but still nothing. That game was entertaining btw, the Thunder Thanes wrecked faces.

I don't really get why a unit like that can attack three times in a row but then again I don't get much of h5. He did more with that one guy than I did with my hero, mages, and gargoyles 
Someone help me out here. Do the heroes within the same faction have different probabilities of skills popping up? Master of Ice just didn't show up for 20 levels and I was trying to get cold steel since I had attack at like level 2. It was really irritating  I picked up master of storms at the end since it kept coming up but it didn't help much, especially not against air immune thanes. Is there something I'm not doing right or am I just really unlucky?

You're not manipulating well the skill drops. As you might know already, on the left you always get an upgrade skill and a new one, if all your skills are upgraded then you receive 2 new ones, if you have all the skill slots filled you'll get only upgrades. For abilities on the right, you'll get two random 1st tier abilities initially, then you'll always receive a 2nd/3rd tier ability whenever you meet the requirements. So if you have Advanced Destructive and Master of Ice, there's a 100% chance that one of the abilities you receive is either Cold Death or Cold Steel (since they're both 2nd tier abilities).
With those rules in mind you should be able to get a stable build most of the time. As far as I know, having any specific Hero doesn't affect that. Hope that helps.

Yes that helps. When master of ice wasn't showing up, just storm and fire, I kept getting new skills which was lowering the chances of master of ice to show up at all. Bad luck at the start but I made it harder on myself. It was really annoying when I went back to sell a skill at the genie thing, and of course master of ice pops up.... didn't have enough gold to get cold death/steel or I would have.

Unusual stats. Good use of mark of fire, normally people start with firewall. Arcane armour might have been more fitting on the wraiths since they are the unit with the highest survivability. I think I'd focus more on that and mass decay (with the phoenix saved for later) but that rune of exorcism would be a pain anyway...

Good initiative control with tent, shaman haste and morale - that countered mass slow very nicely. Seeing untamed cyclops wreak havoc is a sight for sore eyes ^^ Could have turned out very differently with frenzy/puppet, esp with lack of defense on orcs.

Destructive in general is risky vs dwarves, with the possibility of immunity rune and their might capabilities with light and runes. That aside academy stacks are best left in the back, out of reach. Gargoyles are good thane blockers(I usually give them init/def artie for this reason) and motw is a good way to start so that you can start dual casting asap. Thane battlerage can decide games(case in point) but it can be prevented. PS I approve of academy battle frenzy

I was really banking off upgrading it to cold steel and death but maybe summoning would have been better? I figured with low attack and defense it wouldn't be very useful.
Anyways, I'm around for the next hour or two for any games

Summoning/Light is fun vs dwarves, lots of obstacles/protections/healing/summons to help you stall and eventually take the upper hand. Academy cannot win head on, unless they get might skills and really good stats. And even then I bet that dwarven might/light/runes > academy/might/light/artificer. Other than the superior dwarven att/def stats, both have same spellpower(so same buff strength) and the only academy advantage is library(which doesn't give extra light/summoning spells) and mark of the wizard. More mana too but you'll have to survive for a while before it comes in handy.
PS I'm free if you don't find any challengers

GG indeed. I was worried you had fire warriors too and was about to overwhelm me with summons. I didnt notice phoenixes were immune to water magic, I was running out of ways to kill that thing. I thought i was being crafty with that counter spell, but it was a total waste

Nothing much more to be said about this game. I had the experience of playing the matchup earlier and this time the artefacts were ones that helped me achieve what I wanted to do.

Good game guys Nicely fast-paced, unlike most academy-necro matches.
I have one hell of a game to share, from the upcoming map version. Easily one of the best H5 games I've ever played, with my favourite faction no less Elvin light/summoning academy vs Poly light haven, this time with proper mass spells and week 6 armies.

Stevie vs. Palingenesis
Classic display of how randomization can lose your duel before even playing it. Bad starting spells + bad build + unfavorable match-up. Also, regeneration on the Unicorns disappeared soon after casting for no apparent reason. Not that it would've made a difference anyway. Have to admit I didn't enjoy the game at all, but a deserved win nonetheless.
