Do these cancel out? Quite possibly. The 3 activations, with a potentially VERY high attack, is huge. Darklord Bonding is probably close, though, since it can give a reliable extra Attack Die due to Relentless Assault. However, you would then risk Khosumet on the front lines. This would nerf his "glyph" power. Protect the Pack Leader helps to alleviate this. The extra 2 Defense of the Anubians, however, really give them a chance to survive for a while.

I wonder if you can't give him an extra Defense Die, and still keep him at 25 points. This is a tough one to judge!

I know I was actually thinking about that myself, and how another defense would be nice, but it may unbalance him from being able to be at 25 points which is where I'd like to keep him at.

If anyone else has views or opinions on this matter I'd love to hear them.

I think he's done pretty well, but you might want to change unleashed fury a little to add the defense. Maybe make it "if you get a 20, you must thank whatever gods you believe in and add 6 attack to you mauler."<grin>

Wow, honestly I hadn't thought of lowering and/or changing around the numbers for Unleashed Fury! So thanks for that, I lowered the final attack boost to +6 and added one to his defense, I'm thinking this I pretty good. But as always I'm open to suggestions.

Huh, I just noticed this. Well, I'm putting together a card, but until I get it together, I will post my idea for comment and to make sure it is in on time:

Figure:

Mage Knight Brass Commander

Details:
Decoy Drone
Soulborg/Common Hero/Tricky/Medium 5
1 Life
5 Move
1 Range
0 Attack
2 Defense
10 Points

Follow the Leader- After taking a turn with any Unique Hero you control, you may move one Decoy Drone you control 5 spaces.

Protect the Leader- If a Unique Hero you control that is adjacent to a Decoy Drone you control becomes the target of an attack, you may switch the positions of the Unique Hero and the Decoy Drone (do not roll for disengagement strikes or any terrain effects) and have the Decoy Drone take the attack instead.

Perfectly simple.

After looking at the new elves, they really need something like this:

Warrior

Large 9

Life: 1
Range: 1
Attack: 3
Defense: 3

Elven Command: Instead of taking a turn with an Earth Walker, you may take a turn with any Elf common squad you control. Any figure that is taking a turn instead of an Earth Walker must be within clear sight of any Earth Walker you control before moving.

Tough: When rolling defense dice against a normal attack, Earth Walkers always add one extra sheild to whatever is rolled.

This would allow you to make a great elven army that may only require 2 cards to put OM's on. Do you go with your Elven wizards, or your Elven common squads? His size and toughness should make him a fairly stalwart LOS blocker to protect your elven flanks. It also fits the elven theme having to choose to take a turn with the guy you put the OM on, or someone else. I struggled with the cost because I wanted him to fit into those kinds of armies, be useful, but not too useful. Hopefully I've found that balance.

Now if only some kind soul could help me with making a card...

I would switch the bolded text to 'The Decoy Drone is now the target of the attack' just to make it sound more official.
