Overview:
A Human tribal deck led by Éowyn, Shieldmaiden that focuses on generating value through token creation and monarch mechanics, utilizing combat-oriented strategies with a mix of aggressive creatures and battlefield control.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish board presence through Human tokens and tribal synergies while maintaining card advantage through the monarch mechanic. Early game focuses on developing mana and playing utility humans. Mid-game involves leveraging Éowyn, Shieldmaiden's ability to create tokens and draw cards. The deck can win through combat damage with an army of buffed humans or through value accumulation from monarch triggers. Key synergies include human tribal payoffs, token generation, and monarch mechanics that provide both offensive and defensive advantages.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, which can severely impact its token-based strategy. It relies heavily on combat to win, making it susceptible to fog effects and pillowfort strategies. The deck can struggle against faster combo decks due to its relatively fair gameplan.

- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual-focused power level, with clear tribal synergies and a coherent strategy but lacking the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. It's stronger than a typical precon due to its focused tribal strategy and monarch synergies, but slower than optimized casual decks. The deck can create impressive board states but typically needs several turns to establish meaningful pressure. It includes decent interaction but isn't built to consistently disrupt stronger strategies.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
