Zeriam, Golden Wind

Zeriam, Golden Wind is your Griffin lord that turns combat damage into exponential board growth. Every time one of your flying Griffins connects with a player, you're making another Griffin token. This creates a snowball effect where a single attack can double or triple your board, and with evasion built in, your opponents will struggle to block everything. Your gameplan is straightforward: build a flying-focused deck with cheap Griffins and anthems, attack early and often, and let the tokens pile up until you've got an aerial army they can't stop.

The deck leans heavily into white's creature-heavy gameplan with evasion. You want lords and anthem effects to pump your Griffins (especially those that give flying or reduce costs), plus some ramp to deploy threats faster. Cards that create multiple combat steps or untap your creatures shine here since Zeriam triggers once per Griffin per combat damage, so extra attacks mean exponential growth. A few protection pieces keep your commander safe while you're building up.

You win by swinging a growing flock of flying Griffins in for lethal, often very quickly once you hit a critical mass. The tokens compound so fast that by turn 6–7 you're usually presenting an overwhelming aerial threat.
