Jalib vs. Dirael. Before playing this matchup a couple of times, I thought Jalib was stronger. But I beat a player (let's call him "Kot"), who generally plays well, and then lost even faster playing as Jalib – I put down 2 groups of archmages and got hit by 4 fireballs on my enchanted units (there were also titans among the enchanted units). So, it seems that Dirael has the advantage in this matchup. Or are there any arguments in favor of Jalib?
