Assault Griffin

The functional definition of a common evasive beater, sized to the four-mana slot. A 3/2 flyer for four trades two ways at once: the toughness keeps it cheap enough to be a body that fits the curve, and the power means it represents a real clock once it gets in the air. White has cycled this exact statline through countless commons because it does precise work: it pressures the opponent's life total from a board state ground stalls can't break, it forces an answer or eats four turns of unblocked damage, and it leaves no card advantage behind when it dies. There is no rules text past Flying, and that is the point; the design space here is entirely about where the numbers sit. A French vanilla flyer is a deliberate floor, a baseline against which every keyword-loaded uncommon flyer in the same set gets priced. Assault Griffin is what a creature looks like when its only job is to attack, and to do that on time.
