Looking for a good Contingency vs Mage's Disjunction

[Matrix Dragon]

So, I am running a Mythic Dragon Disciple, and this character is extremely dependent upon buffs in order to function. I am getting worried about the possibility that he could be hit by a Mage's Disjunction and lose all of his defense and offense in a single stroke. Does anyone know of any contingencies that would protect a character from a disjunction?

The only thing that I've been able to think of so far is a teleport or plane shift, but unless I am mistaken I would have to choose the target area in advance. This means I would basically be evacuating the battle, and that isn't the best solution. I could try a contingency+antimagic field, but in a way that could be even worse than the disjunction itself, and it isn't even fullproof.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Just in case it matters, This character is a Sorcerer 7/Paladin 2/Oracle 1/ Dragon Disciple 4, 7th tier Guardian/Archmage.

Sadly it's very high level, but with scrolls, Spellbane could work. Set the contingency and spellbane to Mages disjunction and you're good to go. Sadly, since Spellbane is to high level for you, it requires the expense of 3825 gp every (CL of the contingency) days, since that is the cost of the Spellbane scroll

I've been pondering using spellbane, but unfortunately that spell doesn't work with contingency. Contingency is limited to 6th level spells and lower :(

Emergency Force Sphere would allow you to avoid disjunction if you saw it coming. The disjunction would bring down the sphere but the area within would be excluded from the area of effect.

The alternative would be to use mythic contingency to recast your spells in the event that they were dispelled.

On Spellbane, you don't use it together with Contingency, it has a very long duration.

Contingency -> Greater Dispel Magic to counterspell a Mage's Disjunction that includes you in the area.

It's not a guarantee, but you get a chance at least.

I don't think that works, by the time it takes effect it is too late to counter. You could use a contingency anti magic field and then dismiss it afterwards.

Disagree. Contingency is set to an event. Becoming targeted by Mage's Disjunction is an event and your contingent goes off; just like a ready action to counter a spell. I don't see any difference other than you don't need to ready an action.

If it's debatable, tie your contingency to "enemy spell caster tries casting Mage's Disjunction."

And somewhere, half a world away, a mage who is working for a government that wishes to conquer your continent and enslave your people casts mage's disjunction and your contingency randomly goes off.

Gotta be careful with contingency triggers.

That's the same grey area that some people encounter with Wish spells. It all depends on whether or not the GM wants to screw over the players.
