Decent low costing griifin slowly adds to the decent list of griffin and griffin related cards... maybe we are being seeded for the griffin/pegasus/salamander block.

I would consider this if I only had 8 creatures in my limited deck.. Otherwise, no.

I may actually see the day where I can build a successful tribal griffon deck. Well, mostly tribal.

Why Wizards??? WHYYYY must you make every griffin so mediocre?! Pretty sweet art on this one though.

2/3 flier for 3 isn't BAD, guys. It's just...underwhelming.
It's a common. Deal with it.

Pros like me know how good fliers can be in the right deck. Especially, low-costed commons like this one.

@Firesplitter, If you wouldn't consider playing this in your Limited deck, then you need to stay very far away from Limited. Either that, or come at the store I play at, so I can have an easy opponent to beat. 2/3 fliers for 3 are generally quite decent, if not better. 3 toughness resists a good amount of damage sources and 2 evasive power beats down well enough. It doesn't look like it'll be as good in this limited as it was in Innistrad (where this guy was called Chapel Geist) but he's fine nonetheless. He won't win you the game on his own but he'll be s solid team member.

Finally, another Griffin you can get out before turn 4 that isn't a bag of crap. This'll join Diving Griffin and Azorius First-Wing as a card to round out the awful mana curve most Griffin decks struggle with.

Griffins are getting slightly better in every block. By linear regression, in approximately seven years they will be outclassing the titans.

This would be better with Deathtouch and Lifelink. But you know, that would kind of turn it into a game breaking mistake of a card...

You may not be Nightveil Specter, but I can imagine it being played in a white deck that needs an independent flyer on turn 3.
Sure, it's no Wingsteed Rider, but you do not need to waste cards on it to become stronger, it just is sufficient to whack face.
5/5 for being the only 2+/3+ flyer for 3CmC or less in standard for white.
