I saw some people on dotp and white aggro decks play gryff's boon and I thought about it. It's not a bad card. I looked into building a deck out of it and found cards like Angelic Gift also in standard.

The deck makes flying lifelinkers out of all your creatures without losing card advantage. Since lifelink creatures have such ease making large lifeswings you'll always have a good late game. And you'll hopefully demolish aggro every time. Flyers are also good against planeswalkers that can otherwise hide behind blockers.

Some cards I tried include enter the armory but I feel like it's too slow.

The non-budget alternatives include cards like Liliana, Heretical Healer   and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and more Shambling Vents
