Teremko Griffin is a 2/3 flyer for four mana with first strike — a statline that was already underpowered when it was new and has only fallen further behind. There is no shell in 2024 that wants a vanilla-adjacent white creature at this rate.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Teremko Griffin is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Pauper, the format where it has the best theoretical shot, a 2/3 first striker for four is too slow against the aggro and tempo decks that define the field. In Commander, you're competing for a slot against Baneslayer Angel, Serra Angel variants, and any number of utility flyers that actually affect the board state — Teremko Griffin does not make that cut. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in a four-mana 2/3 regardless of keywords.
