Hey folks, I’m playing a Mark of Warding Dwarf Abjurer 9 who will abuse Armor of Agathys in conjunction with Arcane Ward for extra protection and some retributive damage.
He will be the main controller of the party and I want to take advantage of his increased durability to leverage more aggressive spells. Without rituals and racial spells, these are my preparation right now.
My build for something like this would be with a MAD svirfneblin with int but also a bit of chr for a warlock route to Armour of Agythys.
Start artificer 3 going armourer for a bit of survivability and con saving throws. Go wizard 2 for abjuration then maybe to 4 for Svirfneblin magic. (this gives 3rd lev non-detection for a three times speed charge of the arcane ward than by Mark of warding's 1st lev mage armour. As an artificer you've got the armour anyway). At some time go warlock 1 for armour of agythys.
three classes worth of cantrips, armour, con save proficiency, but not accessing high-level spells.
The MAD build could fit other races but without an abjuration spell you can cast at will.

Just swap Svirfneblin Magic for Eldritch Adept (Armor of Shadows) for your at will Abjuration spell.
