Bladegriff Prototype sits between board control and pressure as a flying artifact creature that forces awkward choices. Its five casting cost buys a 3 2 flyer that punishes opponents when it connects to a player. As an experienced commander pilot you will recognize the unique tempo; the Prototype turns a single successful attack into removal that can shape board state without directly targeting your own opponent.
The printed trigger can be used to destabilize an opponent by destroying a nonland permanent that they choose which is controlled by one of your opponents. That interaction makes the card a practical inclusion in multiplayer decks where politics and threat assessment matter. Treat the Prototype as both a recurring offensive piece and a soft removal engine that scales with table dynamics.
