I've also been asked, "What is Astral doing on your Ghost King???" On a large map (one of the Cradle Versions), I figured my GK could easily avoid astral assassins, and would otherwise only be in danger if the home castle was endangered (scripting the recall spell).

What units are used as astral assassins?
I think R'lyeh has the only national assassins with astral - I should have said "astral hit squads", which are put together with the sole purpose of getting a chance to cast Astral Duel at enemy astral mages, especially the pretender.

Cheap disposable astral mages, perhaps using communion, aiming to get lucky, as even an S3 has a small chance of killing an S8.
