Riders of Rohan
Éowyn, Shieldmaiden Commander Precon
Éowyn is the engine of a Humans go-wide aggro deck. Each turn a new Human lands, she turns that into two hasty 2/2 trample Knights at the start of combat, and she draws a card once six Humans are out. Cheap Humans, token makers, and Human enter triggers feed her and each other, while a heavy monarch subtheme keeps cards flowing. Anthems, double combats and evasion turn the wide board into lethal damage. How it wins: It floods the board with Human tokens and creatures, pumps them with anthems and enter-the-battlefield buffs, then swings with hasty trampling Knights through unblockable or extra-combat turns to kill the table. Key roles: - Human token generation: These cards add Humans to the board every turn, triggering Éowyn's Knights and racing toward six Humans for her card draw (Forth Eorlingas!, Riders of Rohan, Increasing Devotion). - Human enter triggers: Each Human that enters pumps the team, grants double strike, or taps a blocker, so a turn full of token makers becomes an explosive attack (Beregond of the Guard, Théoden, King of Rohan, Lossarnach Captain). - Monarch card advantage: Many cards make the deck the monarch for a steady extra card, some also churn out Soldiers or damage while it holds the crown, and wide aggressive attacks help keep or retake it (Faramir, Steward of Gondor, Palace Jailer, Archivist of Gondor). - Tribal anthems and scaling: Type-based lords and equipment grow with board size, turning many small tokens into a lethal army (Shared Animosity, Door of Destinies, Crown of Gondor). - Combat breakers: Blocker denial, goading, stolen creatures and extra combats push the final big swing through (Aragorn, King of Gondor, Combat Celebrant, Taunt from the Rampart). - Board protection and resets: Team indestructible and a one-sided-capable wipe keep the token board alive or reset when behind (Unbreakable Formation, Frontline Medic, Supreme Verdict).
