Éowyn, Shieldmaiden is a legendary creature card that represents the bravery and leadership of Éowyn in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Her abilities are a reflection of her character's actions and growth during the events of "The Lord of the Rings."

Here's how her abilities work:

• First strike: Éowyn has first strike, which means she deals combat damage before creatures without first strike. This reflects her combat prowess and courage in battle.

• At the beginning of combat on your turn, if another Human entered the battlefield under your control this turn: This ability triggers if you've recently added another Human to your side. This could represent Éowyn inspiring or leading other Humans into combat.

• Create two 2/2 red Human Knight creature tokens with trample and haste: When the trigger condition is met, you generate two formidable Human Knight tokens. They have trample, meaning they can deal excess damage to an opponent if blocked, and haste, allowing them to attack immediately.

• Then if you control six or more Humans, draw a card: If you have a substantial Human army, you're rewarded with card draw. This reflects the strength and unity of a large group of Humans fighting alongside Éowyn.

This card not only captures Éowyn's character but also provides interesting gameplay opportunities by encouraging you to build a deck with multiple Human creatures. The artwork by Craig Elliott captures Éowyn's determination and courage as she leads her fellow knights into battle.
