What in the world is an arena death match?

[NTJedi]

The arena death match is a brilliant idea for adding flavor into the game, unfortunately its flawed. First the prize just isn't worth risking the life of a good commander/summon, thus mostly ignored in MP games. The second weakness is the AI opponents will blindly send their pretenders... thus multiple AI pretenders die causing their pretenders to be weaker/afflicted, AI priests wasting time doing call god and a weaker AI dominion.
