GRIFFINS!!!!! by Skinwalker

Format: Commander

Commander: Zeriam, Golden Wind

Bracket: 4

DeckCheck Threat Index: 39

Deck overview

This mono-white deck leverages Zeriam, Golden Wind at the helm to create an exponentially expanding aerial army of Griffin tokens. The game plan pairs this fast-multiplying flying presence with oppressive stax, tax, and resource-denial effects like Archon of Emeria, Drannith Magistrate, Winter Orb, and mass land destruction spells like Armageddon and Ravages of War. Once Zeriam connects in combat, each Griffin generates another token on hit, quickly scaling from 1 to 2, 4, 8, and beyond. Symmetrical resource denial breaks heavily in Zeriam's favor, as empty mana pools prevent opponents from removing the commander or answering flying attackers. Dedicated token amplifiers like Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Anointed Procession, and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation accelerate lethal clocks, while defensive cards such as Teferi's Protection and Myrel, Shield of Argive safeguard the board against board wipes.
