I’ve recently gotten back into commander and am working on a deck helmed by
[[Eowyn, shieldmaiden]]. I’ve currently got way too many cards admittedly, and am looking for some suggestions on how best to cut down the list/what I should trim (I’m also open to suggestions for missing pieces/additions but would greatly appreciate swaps/cuts). If there are any questions I can answer or clarify I would be more than happy to do so!
#Help with an Eowyn deck
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I've got alot of guys in mine that give +1/+1 until end of turn for creatures entering, and some that give melee to just buff up a big army on attacks. I think its important with eowyn to truly focus on aggro, once the midgame comes around you'll start eating alot of removal, or even a board wipe that could ruin everything without incidental protection. I've got Shaun, Father of synths to make extra copys of Eowyn to feed more tokens and more card draw.
Herald of hoofbeats gives your Knights from eowyn horsemanship which can easily kill a player or two the turn you cast it. Extra combats really help to close out against your last opponent, and things like impact tremors or warleaders call do good chip damage. And of course a Mondrak is a huge boon.
May I ask what cards you have for the +1/+1 that I’m currently lacking? I think I’ve got a few currently but might be missing some essentials. Shaun definitely seems nice, and I’ve currently got karlach for some extra combats. If I may ask, do you have any specific extra combats cards you’d recommend? Or cards you’d cut? I’m currently a fair bit over card wise so trying to trim down is proving somewhat tricky
Thank you as well for your suggestions and advice! I do appreciate them!
What bracket do you usually play?
may want to compare your eowyn deck with the other one in the thread as you may draw inspiration from there
may look at it later if got time

Somewhere between brackets 2-3 is where I usually play most
Your deck does look interesting I must admit, slightly different direction than mine does at times it seems, but nifty nonetheless
Its more or less a big club of tokens that I get to bonk people over the head with until someone decides its time to stop, then just protecting yourself from wrath's while you continue to bonk
It’s quite cool. Definitely a nice deck.
If I may ask, are there any cards you think are currently unnecessary in my current list or cards that should be trimmed/cut?
I think you've got an abundance of silence effects for playing at bracket 2~3
Could I ask what you mean? I count a single one
Well you had grand abolisher and voice of victory, could live with just one and just tutor it up if you're in need of more protection against particularly interactive opponents. I'd say cut blade historian too for a tutor. If you can reliably get lossanarch captain out on field every game that allows you to hit eowyn trigger every combat, tapping down 3 blockers each attack at minimum ensuring your damage will get through to someone no matter what
That makes sense to me. Might I ask what tutor you’d recommend? To keep on theme I was personally thinking [[recruiter of the guard]] as a human body although I’m open to other ideas if you think something would suit the role better
If I find the space potentially [[imperial recruiter]] as well
Yeah they're both what I was thinking as well
[[Neyali, sun's vanguard]] is also good if you're still wanting that double strike from historian + plus some impulse draw. Same cmv but better synergy
Neyali does seem quite nice, but the double strike only applying to tokens when Eowyn is my only real consistent source of tokens seems risky
Yeah i meant put it in the 99, not command zone
I did understand that, I was more saying that since my token producers are limited neyali relies solely on my commander to work which seems risky
Im gonna include [[halo fountain]] in mine next to untap [[combat celebrant]] manually for extra combats every turn
Honestly, if your going to that extent, including something like [[karlach]] is probably the better bet simplicity and value wise even though she isn’t a human

, Untap a tapped creature you control: Create a 1/1 green and white Citizen creature token.
