Well, it certainly sounds like an easy way to eventually completely doom any commander/pretender. I think the effect should be somehow related to the way the creature acts.

It may be not so cruel for big giant SCs, but how about smaller pretenders who wish nothing more but peacefully cast fireballs from far end of the battlefield ? Or even cast buff spells. Do they really deserve the same harsh punishment ?
So much for theory.

Even Lesser Horrors are quite rare, and tough bodyguards should take care of those. I haven't tested the combination of Horror Mark, battle-caster and Hunter of Heroes, though. I'll see if I can manage to do that at some point.

Lol! Yeah, it's tough for battlemages now, but they have become a "collateral damage" in SC nerf. Ironically, the "nerf" didn't change much for SCs - they're still dying like flies
