Jorhdawn - 380
Raelin - 460
Kyntela Gwyn - 480
Deathreavers - 520, 11 hexes

I was going to go with the Izumi instead of KG/Rats, but I think you need KG since you don't have Chardris to add another wizard to boost Jorhdawn and Emirroon.

I think the biggest thing with EWiz is to be patient. Set up your pod somewhere nice and leave it there. Always have a couple of Elves next to Emirroon to boost his Summon roll, and use Arkmer to run out and snipe, then summon him back to the pod if they decide to turtle. The one squad of Rats can still be a decent screen when backed by Raelin (though I'd worry far more about keeping your Elves under Raelin's protection).

They drop in with height advantage and kill Ulginesh first turn!! For the 120 point screen I could throw in 3 Reaver squads if I had them. The army has to set up quickly and hold its own.

Ulginesh 150
Emiroon 80
Jordawn 100
Arkmer 50
Kyntela Gwyn 20
3x Deathreavers 120
520
