But why Crystal Shields? Are all your commanders mages/priests?

Rods of the Phoenix and Wands of Widfire are weapons for standard commanders. Give something else to your mages, like Rune Smashers if they use resistable spells, Staves of Mastery on Elementalists (better than Crystal Shields because of encumberance), Thistle Maces on nature mages, or defensive weapons like Main Gauches or Vine Whips. Or +leadership items if you need bigger squads (good for army gaters).
