Hello all I would really apperciate some honest feedback on this list for use in ITC tournaments. It's a simple concept and I feel like it has lots of tools but I don't get to play many practice games such as much theoryhammering as possible will be a big help to me.

Loyal 32: Bare bones. Warlord with Grand Strategist and Kurov's aquila.
So I know people have shied away from the Castellan after the nerf, but because I am stubborn I want to show that it still good. And I didn't own one before the nerf so I have not run it yet. But maybe every one else is right and I am wrong...
Strategy
The basic idea is 19 CP, before pre-game purchases, to power a Raven Castellan and 2 Smash Captains. Scouts screen the enemy and prevent them from getting early board control. Then two gallants charge forward while the Castellan softens things up and the Smash Captains use Strats to reliably deepstrike turns 1 and 2 to take out critical pieces of the enemy army. The guard use orders to get to objectives and screen the Castellan.
Fine tuning the list, I'm not sure about making the Castellan the Warlord, and forgoing Grand Strategist on the Guard Commander. That would let me get Land strider on one gallant and then Armour of the sainted ION (2+) on the other. Or I can spend 4 more CP and do this anyways.
