By the way, did I understand correctly that the Hive doesn't reflect in the mirror?
In both replays, Ildarik didn't check who the sworn enemies were, and if he's lucky and the opponent misplaces their units, Dirael can launch 4-5 fireballs on the first turn, ending the battle immediately, so the mages need to be grouped together.
I think Jalib has good chances if at least one stack (not gargoyles) has an artifact that provides resistance; then, a shield should be cast on him on the second turn (presumably, a fan on the first turn). And the more obstacles on the battlefield, the better for Jalib.
