As Kalo said, I play a full defense team (most of the time a mix if Martyr, Atur, Rhazin, Thenasil and Tayrel) and Roshcard is something I really like to see on the opposing team. Rhazin as well as Thenasil remove his buffs and the team itself is strong enough to survive the enmies onslaught.
So with a full defense team, is your goal to just gradually wean down the HP of the opposing team while healing yourself enough to stay alive?

My team is a little confusing at this point. It's still a work in progress. And I guess my team is just weak against him, unless I am able to lock him down before he casts it (or burn down 1 or 2 champions at least before he does). I do have Thenasil, but I don't think he would mix well in my current team.
On offense, here's what typically happens:
1) I have Nethril for first strike and to try to bump down the enemy's turn meters (has lots of speed, modest accuracy, modest strength). In this regard, I'm not quite as worried about speed on the rest of my champions.
2) Next, I use Aothar and Deathless for locking down two champions (or if one misses on top priority, I can try with the other to lock them down). If I don't need to lock two down, sometimes I will instead have Aothar blow his AoE (although I don't feel it is particularly strong).
3) Pain Keeper with TONS of HP to top everyone off when needed and to speed up everyone's cds (which I feel is SO valuable I hate the thought of ever replacing her).
4) If it comes down to it, last ones standing will usually be Deathless and Pain Keeper. This is the point where I blow her [Grim Revenge], and usually, that is game over.

I am considering replacing Aothar later on with Hordin. Figure I can go strength, crit rate, and crit damage on him to clean house.
I would love to go all damage, but my Pain Keeper has so much HP and heals so powerfully that she can literally top off my entire team. Plus, with how much HP she has, if the opponent tries to burn her down, they waste their time. Their only hope is to kill one of my champions before she can top them off. Hard to walk away from all that extra HP she gives the team. :P
Oh, and I maxed out Magmablood back when I first started playing and didn't know what I was doing. As such, he hits HARD, harder than any other champion I have currently. Almost tempted to max him out to 6 star (currently at 5) and use him as a glass cannon in arena.
