Then you could add either more wizards (Jorhdawn/Chardris/Morsbane), and/or Syvarris, or squads of Aubrien Archers, or Raelin.

While I came around to dissing the wizard army along with the Saylind build, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the possibility of using the wizards for a Yo-Yo attack. It's not what the original poster was talking about, but it is an effective way to draw out a castle defender. This speaks to the broader point that a castle defender can't afford to be out-ranged.
