I'll note that Legolas's Quick Reflexes + Seeker of Skybreak is a three mana Plague Wind in green. Not a card I expect to see much play, but I appreciate the extra utility it provides compared to a pure protection spell like Tamiyo's Safekeeping . Thanks for pointing out the combo! This will have t...

He's great with Ghen, Arcanum Weaver. At instant speed you can put Stranglehold, Overwhelming Splendor, or Captive Audience from your library onto the battlefield.

I don't play in a lot of cEDH metas, and I've never been the biggest fan of the card. My green artifacts/enchantment removal suit is Nature's Claim , Return to Nature , Boseiju, Who Endures , and Beast Within . And frankly I'm kind of more down on cards like Beast Within now then I was in 2017 when ...

As a Bonus for some spicy techs that fill multiple roles in the deck I added Grand Arbiter Augustin IV [/card] who functions as both ramp and stax, allowing you to pop Eowyn out for 3. Descen, dants' Fury [/card] as a pseudo Draw/Free spell card when you attack with a basic token. Scheming Fence [/...

What do you think of Academy Rector for the deck? Off of an Avacyn flip it can put an Eldrazi Conscription on Avacyn.

Arena Rector, Auriok Champion, Selfless Spirit, Kor Firewalker, and Sanctifier en-Vec are other cards that might be worth considering.

The more I play with the deck, the more I believe that Urza's Incubator is the best card in the deck. Being able to play Eowyn for 3 mana plus another creature for 1 turn 4 is so good, and it makes all these guys cost 1 mana: Lossarnach Captain Loran of the Third Path Professional Face-Breaker Hanwe...

I mean, the deck has lots of 4 drops, so playing a 4 drop like Purphoros, God of the Forge, Door of Destinies, Smothering Tithe, Boromir, Gondor's Hope, Lossarnach Captain, or Outlaws' Merriment turn 3 is pretty nice. Sure. Better not miss your land drop for 5 though. Playing Worn Powerstone or Coa...

if you're on rocks I'd try the 3 cmc rocks that tap for two. Worn power stone and coalition relic. Skyclave relic likely also very decent (surviving wipes and having topdeck utility). That said I think you'd be happier long term without signets in this deck. the three swords of x and y that ramp ar...

I guess this card is good in Éowyn, Shieldmaiden, but I wouldn't play a transformers card in a Lord of the Rings deck.

And it's probably worse than Iroas, God of Victory.

I flat out do not understand skipping Knight of the White Orchid for Talisman of creativity. that seems just so backward.

I run Knight also! I just forgot to include him, but he's the 12th ramp piece.

Eowyn is a beginning of combat trigger--it doesn't matter if you make a copy of her earlier in the turn; you won't have both at the point that her ability triggers. Damn, you guys are right. I'll probably replace Molten Echoes with Odric, Master Tactician , Smothering Tithe , or Dragonmaster Outcas...

You if you have out Molten Echoes and cast Éowyn, Shieldmaiden a token enters and both triggers go on the stack. Then you chose one(the token) to leave the battlefield as a game based effect because of the legend rule. Then both triggers resolve. Eowyn is a beginning of combat trigger--it doesn't m...

It says your decklist runs Angel of Glory's Rise , which could be good with a bunch of creatures in the graveyard, but if you're looking to cast more creatures in your hand I'd recommend Urza's Incubator . My only copy is in Ur-Dragon, which needs it more, but it probably would help here. I like to...

Made a couple of edits, including adding Thraben and Purphoros to the deck. Just had a game with Lossarnach Captain out, to kind of showcase the value of making a token each turn in terms of triggering Eowyn. The Captain is obviously WAY better than Thraben, but I can see how it would be valuable. ...

I play Serra ascendant in human tribal, cleric tribal, and have played it in Edgar Markov. It's probably the best in cleric tribal with Voice of the Blessed , Soul Warden , Soul's Attendant , Auriok Champion , Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim , Suture Priest , and True Conviction , despite it not being...

I think fogs are very underrated. I've been playing various kinds of turbo fog lists and I've had great success with them. Most decks primary wincon is combat dmg and if you take that out they kinda have nothing left. Tis true that Constant Mists has a disproportionate winrate. I have been wonderin...

Not mono colored, but in my Orzhov cleric tribal deck I run the 4 plains from Baldur's Gate with the 4 different D&D quotes and then plains from Unstable. I think the deck runs 8 plains in all because there's a lot of double white costs with Knight of the White Orchid , Auriok Champion , Leonin ...

I'm wondering if Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker should be in this deck. She doesn't have the greatest synergy with Eowyn, but she is a human who shuts down some infinite combos and discourages people from attacking you and dealing direct damage to you. It can also be protected by Mother of Runes , Defl...

It's really an interesting dynamic, but it's frustrating to me that things seem to be drifting in CEDH directions (Stax locks or countermagic or combos as the answer to creature heavy strategies). But i do like that you can use go-tall strategies or protect the queen strategies to engage with this....

If you anticipate one, just don't wipe, do something else to maybe bait them into committing more to go over you? This is theoretically reasonable, but I don't think it's actually actionable - if your opponent is threatening lethal, waiting a turn to cast a board wipe isn't really a feasible option...

I think it varies pod to pod. One guy at my LGS is running Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir with Knight Exemplar , Unbreakable Formation , Akroma's Will , Flawless Maneuver and a bunch of board wipes. And even if his board isn't indestructible he can get knights back from his GY with his commander. It's kind...

Game Play Report Going to keep this short and RIDICULOUS. Had one opponent playing extra draw + heavy mill, and my yard got stocked. Played Nahiri's Resolve, which exiled Eowyn and a Weathered Wayfarer. Player before me with demons cast Living Death, bringing back: Adeline, Combat Celebrant, Theode...

Cathar's is on the list of possible includes. I don't know that you're getting enough value out of dropping a ton of weenies here. They don't attack well after a couple turns without outside help, and you have numerous token makers for that aspect. As such, I feel like the creatures you're playing ...

20 is a lot. I run 15 in my list and one of them is Snapcaster Mage. I think the issue is without the deck having access to black or green there's a limit on how many solid 1-2 drops it has. I think there are plenty of great 1-2 drop humans across UWR. Red has some really serious quality these days...
