My second attempt at a Griffin Tribal deck pivoting more off of lifegain/lifelink to activate Griffin Aerie and make some tokens. As many pointed out in private, the previous enchantment based idea was a little all over the place and didn't really feel coherent to me after looking over it again. So here is my remake of that one, hopefully it looks a bit better this time!

The main combos in this deck are divided into two groups; Single Activators and Combo Activators.

For Single Activators, the only real one in the deck is Revitalize as it gives the exact amount of lifegain Griffin Aerie needs and also nets us a slight amount of card-draw. Path of Bravery is a pseudo Single Activator, but it requires already having some creatures on the field to make use of it. Same with True Conviction, though in its' case it also has the problem of being a high mana-cost enchantment.

The real meat and potatoes for this deck come from getting the Combo Activators onto the field. Getting Envoy of the Ancestors + Metallic Mimic out can give everything lifelink so-long as it gained a +1/+1 counter from Metallic Mimic. You can also get a nice combo from Envoy of the Ancestors + Fearless Fledgling for a more reliable lifelink proc than needing to put Metallic Mimic out first.

Another light synergy is Envoy of the Ancestors + Fearless Fledgling + Wanted Griffin , though that is only for after Wanted Griffin dies and you gain access to the token it makes. The Token can be tapped to give Fearless Fledgling an aditional +1/+0 if you don't have access to any of the +1/+1 generators like Always Watching, Honor of the Pure, or if Path of Bravery is not yet active.

Big thanks to TheVectornaut for the very valuable hints in the comments! Helped a ton in getting this version up and running. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions as I am not the best at making MTG decks!
