Land Analysis:

Other Notes:

• Cursed Mirror can be used to copy a nonlegendary copy of Eowyn if drawn in the late game
  
• Savor the Moment should be thought of as a 3 mana Explore that has the added upside of triggering Eowyn's combat trigger. The tokens have haste which allows them to swing the turn they come in.
  
• Nanogene Conversion should be used to make all of your creatures into copies of Eowyn before combat for maximum value.
  
  

Notable Exclusions:

• Herald's Horn needs more human creatures in the deck to get value from the card draw trigger and after a LOT of thinking and tweaking, I decided that this card is too weak the bend the entire deck around.
  
• Deflecting Swat is excluded in place of 0-mana counterspells because once copies of Eowyn start to be made, single-target removal is no longer a concern and I'd rather stop the inevitable board wipe that will get cast once Eowyn comes down.
  
• Ascend from Avernus and Angel of Glory's Rise are honestly the 101st and 102nd cards in the deck. I only cut them because Ascend would tend to rot in my hand and only be valuable past turn ~6-7 and that's ASSUMING that a board wipe has happened.
  
• Great Train Heist and other extra combat effects are excluded in favor of overrun effects and more clone effects. With Eowyn's tokens having trample, the deck wants a way to pump them to swing and at some point there is a critical mass of Eowyn triggers such that playing Beregond of the Guard generates more power on board than making another 6 or 8 2/2's. Additionally, because we're in blue, I'd rather just take an extra turn and get the card draw and land drop at 5 mana than play an extra combat for 4 mana. Speaking of, the next bullet below is Time Warp!
  
• Time Warp and extra turn effects not included to maintain time equity at the table.
  
• Breath of Fury is a two-card combo with Eowyn for infinite combats and is excluded because I dislike combo finishers.
