Warchief isn't Durable, Eternal Guardian is. Warchief can give you 15 wall, Eternal Guardian - max 45 wall/30 tower. And that Barbarian combo is actually more expensive than Undead because of Undead token effect and recruits only cost of Barbarians.
Yes, Mountain Sentry is very effective card, but it needs full Alliance hand, 4 turns and 36 stock to build max wall in normal mode (6 turns and 54 stock in long mode). And Eternal Guardian doesn't need to be spammed like Chaos Dwarf or Mountain Sentry. Play Corpses Behemoth or Undead Host, if enemy still alive - play Eternal Guardian one time. You'll get lots of wall and tower, enemy - lots of damage.
In fact, leave its effect as it is, but get rid of Durable, make its cost like 8 gems/8 recruits and add Undead summon as secondary effect.
