You get a decent magic item, permanent quickness enchantment is not to be ignored, and 100xp for the unit PLUS a chance to attack the AI pretenders with the commander of your choice. I always send someone to the arena with some simple magic equipment. So far I won a lot more matches than I lost and even taken out AI pretenders on a regular basis. If I use a vampire queen pretender I send her right in since she'll flatten anything except other undead.

I never send magic Users though. Just beefy fighters with good magic protection and armor.

That said I would very much like it if one would get a choice of rewards since the trident is not always the most interesting prize. Especially if your champion doesn't have any hands...
