Soaring Bounty
Wanted Griffin is a straightforward aerial threat that fits well into white aggro and tempo shells. At {3}{W} it comes in as a 3/2 flyer, trading favorably against smaller ground creatures while applying pressure to opponents who lack reliable flyers. The death trigger is the real utility; it replaces the body with a 1/1 red Mercenary token that grants a short burst of offense by tapping to give a creature you control +1/+0 until end of turn, but only at sorcery speed. That interaction rewards sequencing and makes the Griffin more than just a one-for-one casualty.
In practical play the card reads as a two-stage threat. It pressures from the air, then hands you a resource that fuels combat tricks, chump blocks, or a final push. The flavor fits Outlaws of Thunder Junction: a captured predator that leaves a small, eager accomplice behind. Include this card when you want a reliable flyer that trades into creatures and leaves a combat-ready token to keep momentum on your side.
