I guess the Blademaster's Walk ran out right after I Stomped him, then. All I know is that he died a horrible death, surrounded by grunts and a very angry Tauren.
The Raider strategy probably doesn't work in high-level (12+) games, but I beat a LV16 player mostly single-handedly with it. He was busily killing a newbie (some poor sad sack LV3 got crammed into our game, somehow), so I ran 12 Raiders in and decimated his base, and followed that up with a small force of Grunts backed by a Sea Witch and Tauren Chieftain. He abdicated ^_^
Raiders are also reasonably effective against Huntresses, making the Raider strategy doubly effective if you can use Ensnare and hit-and-run to good effect. The downside is that Raiders take extra damage from Normal attacks (what the Huntresses use), have few HP (610 vs. Huntresses' 600), and have relatively light armor. If you have very good micro, and use Ensnare effectively, you can bring down a large pack of Huntresses this way, but your best bet is to either tech to Tauren (beware Druids of the Talon using Cyclone) to use Wind Riders. Of course, any Night Elf player worth their salt will have at least a handful of Archers with them, regardless of their primary unit type.
