  • Requires an opponent to control a creature with greater power to fully utilize its potential.
  • Four mana cost is somewhat high for an aggressive strategy.
  • The protection effect is very situational.

Deck Utility:

• Aggro Decks: Fits well in Boros or Naya aggro decks as a potential top-end threat that can clear the way for other attackers.

• Midrange Decks: Useful as a midrange creature that can disrupt opponent strategies while offering decent stats.

• Commander: Could serve as a Commander in a deck focused on legendary creatures, or could be included in the 99 of a deck with similar themes.

• Limited: In a Limited environment, the ability to exile a creature and possibly protect your own could swing games.

Éowyn, Fearless Knight is a strong midrange card that combines removal and protection in one package. It could be the finisher in an aggressive deck or a utility creature in a midrange or Commander deck. With its situational but potentially powerful abilities, it requires some deckbuilding considerations but can offer a lot in the right circumstances.
