The best 'griffin' to use for this purpose I believe is Mothdust Changeling.

When Doug Beyer discusses the flavor of this card on July 13th, he talks about the various attempts to create "mounts." That's awesome, but this card isn't even the first attempt using this method. Let's not forget Cloudreach Cavalry and Skirk Outrider. I do like that Griffin Rider gets the bigger "mount" boost.

Take a mediocre creature type and balance it out with awesome support cards. I love it! Griffin's are cool, making them somewhat playable is even cooler.

Totally making mono-white Griffin pauper. Guarantee I'll get rolled by my buddy's mono-red Goblin pauper every time, but I don't care, it will be for the lulz.

I think it's kind of funny that this gal will get flying when the only other griffin you have on the board is a Fledgling Griffin.

Anyway, awesome card in a Griffin tribal deck, which in itself won't do very well unless it's Legacy/Vintage and you're bringing out some of the older, weirder cards like Azorius First-Wing.

Griffin Sentinel is probably the best partner for this. A 1/3 for 3cmc isn't necessarily bad especially if you consider it has both flying and vigilance which means with these both on the field you can swing for 5 flying each turn and still have a blocker and that assumes that all you have available is these two. Good in an all white deck, good in a knight deck, good in humans, this card, with at least a couple of fairly inexpensive griffins in the deck for back, can be a boon to a handful of deck types.

Get this guy turn 2 and Griffin Sentinel turn 3. It's not bad, and it's easy to pull off :P
