Not the exact picks of the standard Eldar/DE conventions, but a nice low resource curve and sound approach, certainly good enough for tourney play.
Expect to replace Shrouded Harlequins with Warlock Destructors shortly.
Also, would suggest Altansar Rangers in place of Mandrakes: I think you'll find the extra command and Eldar faction (for Isha and discounter) will help you more than the extra attack.
I also see the Avengers as a subpar choice - if you exhaust a unit but they still have others, you're in trouble. If you exhaust a unit and they don't have others, you generally don't get to kill that unit as they'll retreat at end of round. A better pick here would be Iyanden Wraithguard, as 4 Armourbane will answer more problems than 1+Exhaust.
Also, personally, I'd drop the three Banshee Power Swords in favour of two Empowers and one Doom. The double shield icon will help keep your Warlord and key units alive, and while the battle boost is expensive, its of a comparable level of cost to BPS. You do lose the BPS / Gift of Isha combo, but looking at your Eldar units the benefit of that combo is minimal for you: thats more of a play for decks that run Wraithfighters! The Doom, of course, is a good recovery option when you get swamped by an orkish horde at planet 1.
Thank you for your comments ^^
I tried with Altansar at the beggining, but Mandrakes are really needed for more combat power. The extra ranged damage is a lot.
Ussually you want to fight only with the Iniciative. This way, Avengers are useful when you add them to Eldorath exaustion ability + archons terror + ranged attacks + council bonus damage. Few opposition. I know that the avengers have sub-par stats for the price, but work well in the deck, and is the only unit with 4 HP for when I need to absorb some damage.
I love the Banshee sword, and Still don't understand why nobody likes it. I can discard units from my hand to boost the ranged attack of the mandrakes, and then with Gift of Isha bring back the discarded unit to the Battle... so strong. I used to include a Wraithfighter only for that reason.
Doom is rarely needed in most of my games. I always had 3 copies, then 2, then 0. Maybe I can use x1 copy just in case.
