Keep Mindrazor from going off. Kill off his Sorceress, then combo charge them with several things and do over 20 wounds in your own phase. :3

Dwellers Below will make them cry and reduce them to a very manageable size.

I just eagle them away.... Failing that I would hit them in the flank with a unit of sword masters, there by you mitigate incoming damage and break them. Another option is a unit of dragon princes of any size in the flank, they should break it.

10 Swordmasters should beat them frontally, 14 (7 wide) should do so convincingly. Watch out for Handbows though. Maybe buff the SM's defensively.

The problem is, there are more dangerous things in the DE army than Corsairs.
