River Hellondale and Legionnaire Alvar Lineups?

Hello all,

I am excited to use the following combo when dealing with handle magic spammers.

I would love to hear about lineups with these two that will ensure that Alvar is first to die at front line to ensure he gets resurrected.

• Just a beefy back line?
• Teams at 30 or less Mana vs teams in higher mana games

Thanks for any help!
