If, as Optimal claims, he has a Knight a priori. Then, in turn, I have already written somewhere that for Haven, you need to have two mages in your army. This is an additional hassle for the Life Mage.

Two mages are good, but they will both have a low level, which will affect the strength of magic and the quantity in general. Yes, it will be a hassle, but everything is possible.
As I said before, against Haven and Chaos, you need to play for speed, so as not to let them develop mages.
