If you're sticking with the griffin tribe here, Wild Griffin and Griffin Sentinel are on the curve.

Turn 2: Griffin Rider
Turn 3: Wild Griffin, then up up and away!

I love this creature. As weak as griffins usually are, they goldfish pretty well. I'm considering building a griffin deck for when I play casually with my fiance. For bonus flavor, play with Teremko Griffin so they can attack and block together and be blocked together as a group, which makes sense.

Good in a casual griffin tribal deck, and maybe in a m12 draft, but that is about it.

Maybe we'll see some griffin tribal in Innistrad. Or at least some cool griffins. The same goes for other M12 tribals like spider and illusion.

Notice they won't help each other out if you have 2 out. There are 3 Griffins in 2012, none of them too exciting.

Better than Cloudreach Cavalry. The art looks cool as well. 4/4 flying for 2 mana? I want it!

I'm sorry I'm such a critic. This really is a great card, and immediately makes any Griffins in the game more playable than they used to be. If therewere outright good Griffins before, those are now fantastic, but I've never really looked into Griffin tribal before.

But...does anybody else think this particular 'griffin' looks a bit too much like an owl?
awkward angle...

EDIT: oh yeah, and it's a Knight. This card needs a new, even better art already so..very..badly.

Great in limited if you happen to have other griffins. Otherwise very mediocre.

In M12 Limited, this guys a beating. Why? Look at the good white cards.

MOST OF THE CREATURES ARE GRIFFINS!!!
