Is it normal for battle 1-6 vs Ter Adun with Nishaven that Adun starts with a War Banner and Brutalis on the board in Easy Mode?

I did all the other Mage Campaigns on Easy, do not remember any setup like this. Nishaven is a bit tricky to use as is with his ability, I have tried both his starter deck and a custom one so far, still cannot get past it.
