Garrison Griffin

Description

Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts looking for versatile white mana sources will find the Garrison Griffin to be a solid inclusion in their collections. Released in 2019 as part of the Throne of Eldraine set, this card carries the catalog number 305 and is classified as a Common rarity. Designed by artist Jason Kang, the card features a mana cost of {2}{W} and a mana value of 3, making it an efficient play for decks focused on white-aligned strategies. As a Creature — Griffin, Garrison Griffin brings the Flying keyword ability to the battlefield, allowing it to bypass blockers that lack Flying or Reach. Its primary strategic value lies in its triggered ability: whenever this creature attacks, it grants Flying to a target Knight you control until the end of the turn. This interaction makes it particularly appealing to players building Knight tribal decks, where it can enhance the mobility and survivability of other key pieces on the board. The flavor text, referencing the keen-eyed guardians of Ardenvale, adds narrative depth to the card's design without impacting gameplay mechanics. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Throne of Eldraine expansion for their thematic consistency and mechanical innovation. This card represents a classic example of white’s support role within the set, providing both aerial presence and tactical flexibility. Whether you are completing a set, building a casual Commander deck, or simply appreciating the intricate design of Jason Kang’s work, the Garrison Griffin offers a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering library. Its straightforward yet effective abilities make it a recognizable and useful component of the game's broader ecosystem.
