Hi everyone! 
So I'm trying to come up with a list to take to an upcoming 50 point Spell Draft tournament. At this point, I've narrowed down my choices to either Retribution or Circle.
Below is a list I was considering if I went with Retribution, I was wondering what the forum would think of it.
50 points
Theme: Defenders of Ios
Lord Ghyrrshlyd
Hydra
Manticore
Chimera
Fane Knight Guardian (Free due to theme)
House Ellowuyr Swordsmen x10
House Ellowuyr Swordsmen x10
Stormfall Archers
Arcanist Mechanik (Free due to theme)
Planning on playing pretty aggressively with this list. A pushed up Hydra would be ideal for Arcane Vortex shenanigans, and the Ellowuyr Swordsmen with parry can try and force ideal setups for Ghyrrslyd's feat- either forcing the enemy to suffer becoming stationary, or spending attacks on them they'd rather use elsewhere (Or maybe even risking free strikes, which could be tricky if I get a strength buff for infantry...). The Hydra and Manticore's ranged attacks, along with whatever attack spells I get for Ghyrrshlyd, should help set this up as well.
I'm not sure of what spells I'd plan on emphasizing during the draft... I could see this list working with both buff-heavy and/or attack-heavy spell lists though. On that same note, I am a bit torn on whether I should keep the Fane Knight Guardian, or trade that out for Sylys.
Also, with how aggressive I'm planning on being, I might want to trade the Chimera out for something else. Arc nodes are always nice, but if I'm planning on playing far forward, it might not be needed.
Then again, I could be completely misguided...
