Overview:
A Human tribal deck led by Éowyn, Shieldmaiden that focuses on generating Human tokens and leveraging tribal synergies to overwhelm opponents through combat damage while maintaining card advantage through its commander's draw ability.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around consistently creating Human tokens and building a wide board presence. Éowyn, Shieldmaiden rewards you for playing Humans by creating additional 2/2 Knight tokens and drawing cards when you reach critical mass. The deck includes numerous token generators and tribal payoffs to maximize these synergies.
The secondary strategy involves utilizing anthem effects and combat tricks to make your Human army more threatening. Cards like Shared Animosity, Door of Destinies, and Vanquisher's Banner boost your creatures' power while providing additional value. The deck also includes several legendary Humans that offer powerful effects and can close out games through combat damage or value generation.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, as it relies heavily on maintaining a board presence. While it includes some protection pieces, they are limited in number. The mana base could be more optimized, and the deck might struggle against faster, combo-oriented strategies. The reliance on combat damage as the primary win condition makes it somewhat predictable and potentially slow in multiplayer games.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with consistent tribal synergies and a clear gameplan, but lacks the explosive power or protection suite of higher-powered decks. It can establish a threatening board presence by turns 6-7 but typically needs several more turns to close out games. While it includes some strong interaction pieces and card advantage engines, it doesn't have the speed or resilience to compete with highly optimized decks. The deck would perform well against other tribal or combat-focused strategies but would struggle against faster combo decks or heavy control strategies.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
