Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai Humans go-wide combat deck helmed by Eowyn, Shieldmaiden. The plan is straightforward: flood the board with Humans, trigger Eowyn at the beginning of combat to mint two hasty trampling Knight tokens whenever another Human entered that turn, and convert the swarm into lethal damage with anthems and type-matters payoffs. Monarch subthemes (Aragorn, King of Gondor, Faramir, Steward of Gondor, Champions of Minas Tirith, Throne of the High City) supply steady card flow once the board is online, while Shared Animosity, Warleader's Call, Door of Destinies, and Vanquisher's Banner turn a modest army into a table-ending alpha strike. Combat Celebrant supplies the lone extra-combat spike. The deck wins almost exclusively through combat damage; recursion and protection keep the swarm rebuilding after wipes rather than pivoting to alternate win conditions.
