Provenance

Where it came from

The Armored Griffin was originally released in the Magic: The Gathering expansion Magic 2012. It was designed as a functional common creature intended to bolster the white color identity's reliance on aerial combat and defensive mechanics, specifically utilizing the flying and vigilance keywords to provide a balanced presence on the battlefield.

This specific iteration, numbered 1 in the Planechase Anthology collection released in 2016, features artwork by Brad Rigney. Rigney is known for his dynamic digital painting style, and here he focuses on a classic high-fantasy aesthetic, emphasizing the weight and metallic sheen of the beast's barding to convey its durability within the game's creature-combat environment.
