Pha's and net can do a great job of helping out against war machines, but you have to roll them. Potential down side there. If you take 3 it's almost guaranteed, then you also have a s6 banishment. Something to think about.

Why not make it 3 light mages? :)

Why not indeed :D

The only issue is how that affects army selection. If one were planning to have heavy cavalry support for your dragon lord, it might not be the best choice. If I was going with 3 L2's I would invest in white lions rather than cavalry, but I'd want the 12" stubborn ability from World Dragon. This could be highly effective.
