Personally I would find a Supreme Patriarch Mathilde real funny that just uses Ulgu to teleport closer and beat em up with her fists.

Has some real Mustrum Ridcully vibes. ..Maybe have her yell 'Subtlety!' every now and then.
 
Teleport and punch is perfectly valid tactic.
Though i suspect most supreme patriarch candidates will have a plan to deal with "i cast fist".
 
While the idea of teleport punching is absolutely hilarious, I would like to note Mathilde is not a fist fighter. The most likely scenario if Mathilde did not have access to Runic equipment and wanted to do such a thing would be to teleport and cast her master of Shadow Dagger to stab someone at the same time, preferably in a way that disables their casting such as slicing tendons or the throat. Not many non lethal ways of disabling someone with Ulgu.
 
The Duel for Supreme Patriarch does not have a carefully curated list of permitted items. What it has is the expectation that those who have attained the rank necessary to make a challenge also have sufficient common sense to realize that if you're going to fight for a leadership position in front of all those you will be leading, you need to make a good showing of it. Demonstrate your puissance, not just your ability to find One Weird Well Actually, Supreme Patriarchs Hate It. Otherwise all those who are happy to sit back and let the previous status quo continue will start recalculating, and you absolutely will not have enough tricks up your sleeve to work your way through every Wizard Lord in the Empire.

Clearly the take away from this is that we need bigger sleeves. :V

"I found catnip for dragons and laced it with sleeping drugs."
"What are you going to do about all the people who challenge you after that?"
"They can do that? Hope they transform into dragons. I guess."

Obviously the way a shadow wizard wins is by bringing in blackmail on everyone and/or holding something they own hostage.

Also bribes. Lots of bribes.

And they must never know (identity redacted)is there until the last moment.

Some would call this unfair.
People who understand Ulgu however know that THAT is the point.

However, Hysh wizards need to be distracted by an alternate prophesy or something.

That or do what Mathilde did in her Magister tests and Just Shoot Them.

Can't be challenged if there's no challengers and all... 😏

We'd have to develop countermeasures to Celestials though.
A way to spoof their divinations, so that while it looks like we're out of anvils, they know we always have at least one more.

Or better, an illusion that fills the sky with decoy anvils. While actually only having a couple of real anvils.

We have to become so absurdly legengary they don't even realise its an illusion... Because MATHILDE.
Making rain anvils is probably within her capability, so no one dares try counterspell in case it's not an illusion and they get squashed by several anvils :V
 
Has the spell idea of something like a mirror image via the Warrior of Fog been brought up before? Illusions that semi-mimic your actions and realistically 'die' when shot at while otherwise being confusing for your enemies to predict.
