Twenty years ago, my best Standard deck was an Azorius Griffin typal. It won me a few local tournaments, even. I miss it. So I'm making this now.

My first step was looking up all cards with griffins in the art. This works out with my colors pretty nicely - I have access to the majority of the results because my commander, Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir, is in Esper. I miss out on a few red and green cards, but that's fine.

Conveniently, a number of knights ride and have synergy with griffins (like said commander!), and a number of griffins have synergy with knights. So it's kind of a dual knight AND griffin typal now. Having both blue and black mana colors also gets me some nice tutoring and such, so maybe this won't go down so hard?
