Obviously it is not the best drop against arcane vortex Shade4 but still I dont think it can stop you from casting mortality during the feat turn.
On the other hand.
All new scenarios, all new war.
I had to tune up my list.
The main idea is the same. Force the opponent come to you.
So...this.

Necrosurgeon & Stitch Thralls [4]
1. Great number of shield wall models
2. Mortality helps a lot all those mcthralls
3. Surgeons can heal brutes.
4. Pretty much magical shooting everywhere.
5. Malice is an amazing threat extender.
6. Pistols can dominate flags now. With all those shield guards are really hard to be removed.
7. Ambush is great but not necessary to use.
8. Low volume stealth models can be resolved by denny's spray and reposition back to safety.
9. Hyper aggresive is a HUGE tool especially with all those shield guards. With clever positioning, Malice is incredible.
10. Mortality + drag + puppet master + magical shooting = fuuuuun times.
I combo this list with this one:

For me it works wonders.
Most players argue with me about raiders. "Old school" and stuff like that. Play ghost fleet. Play Skarre1. Terminus fleet + tough boat. And so on...
The thing is that everyone is expecting that. Everyone has a way to rfp a single model and the fleet is pretty much resolved.
My cryx dont resolve issues the normal "cryxian" way.
I am not trying to break armor. I see tons of metal and I think backlash.
I am not trying to one shot everything. I see tons of flesh and I take my time killing beast branches to make them incapable of retaliation with mortality.
It works for me just like it worked the Skarre1 / Agathia pairing in the last WTC.
I know they are not the best casters (well skarre1 is still pretty solid) but no one was expecting them.
I strongly believe that this game is all about reading metas.
Every caster can help. Every caster is a weapon in your arsenal so why not use him.
PP change things constantly lately. You have to adopt.
My previous Denny3 list that I was so happy about is not working with the new scenarios and how scoring is going.
Basically my opponents stand back and shoot me for ages. They dont care about points cause I cant score fast enough to force them to come to me.
So adopt. I think Infernal Machines shoot her greatly. Mcthralls are definitely not raiders offensively but they are definitely more that raiders defensively when it comes down to attrition.
