That is generally considered a bug exploit. See here:

1. Anti-SC type storm fliers. They won't kill him, but they'll make him leave
before he does any damage. Kited as anti-SC commanders, so that they can land a
blow despite defense/mirror image/protection.

2. Mind spells. Armour of Virtue does not help against Soul Slay, Charm, or
Enslave Mind, for example. (Not that he will be in range for Charm)

3. Mega damage spells - Bane Fire, Gifts from the Sky, etc... If he is casting
Wrathful Skies, he is not casting Mistform or Twist fate.

4. Wish the Armour away, then enjoy killing the bugger.

But seriously, your problem is not with the Armour of Virtue... After all, two
Silver Adepts with ritual of returning can do the same job. (One recasts the
ritual on the turn during which the other wraths the army)
