Griffin Protector

Built for the go-wide deck, where the bonus rewards flooding the board rather than holding one strong creature back: each new body you commit pumps the flier the same turn, so an aggressive deck dumping its threats quickly can turn a modest evasive body into a meaningful clock for a single decisive swing. The effect is deliberately fleeting (the buff lasts only until end of turn), which keeps it from snowballing and ties its value to tempo rather than permanent accumulation. That timing puts the card in an awkward spot for the strategy it most wants: a token-and-weenie plan that commits everything fast gets one big turn, then the trigger goes quiet once the entry events dry up, leaving a 2/3 flier that still clears the ground stall white aggro tends to bog down in. The evasion is the floor here, not the trigger; even when the pump is doing nothing, the flying keeps the body relevant and pushes damage over a clogged board. As a common-rarity reward for the weenie plan, it sits a tier below the build-arounds that read off permanent counters or persistent anthem effects: this one asks you to time your deployment around a combat step rather than stack value across a long game.
