Mdance is simply right that Anti-Summoning is more effective than Anti-Magic. However, it's a matter of choice.
That's what I'm going to argue against!
Anti-Summoning may be USEFUL in the situations you mentioned. But it won't really bother the opponent, because a phoenix and a shield are good, but in my opinion, the most effective summoning magic is duplicates, and you can't negate that.
Anti-Magic is ESSENTIAL! Because without it, it's just a complete disaster. Orcs will be slowed down, weakened, and will attack each other for the ENTIRE BATTLE, and won't respond to attacks. Let's also not forget that "mass" spells only cost half a hero's turn, which means they will be cast faster. With this setup, the Orc's chances are close to zero, even with an overall advantage in the army and even in class.
So, the Orc faces a difficult choice: to develop two anti-magic skills (sacrificing development) or to choose just one. I tend to the second option because I believe that without Anti-Magic (even with Anti-Summoning), it will be MUCH harder to defeat the Orc.
P.S. Confirmation of my words is the match described by Mdance above - the phoenix wasn't killed, but the army was torn apart.
