TheVectornaut on Rise of the Griffins

While I like the idea of the current enchantment combo, I don't know that it's really necessary. Privileged Position already protects your stuff without the need to get out 2 cards. Further, turning all of your lands into enchantments opens you up to instantly losing the game to something like Spring Cleaning, although players are more likely to play mass wipes that will also destroy or exile their permanents due to Enchanted Evening's symmetry. Speaking of, you can try to take advanatge of that symmetry in other ways like playing Azorius First-Wing as an unblockable griffin, assuming you don't mind going into blue. Otherwise, I'd still try to upgrade the griffins here to be a little faster and more impactful. Diving Griffin and Resplendent Griffin have the potential to be better than Sunspire Griffin, depending on the final build. Fearless Fledgling and Griffin Rider are both aggressive options to shore up the 2 slot in a way I think would be more impactful than Crashing Drawbridge or the currently underwhelming Pearl Medallion. Finally, Wanted Griffin may be better than Senate Griffin at 4, again depending on what your game plan ends up being. Mutavault and Metallic Mimic are some less budget friendly options that could help the tribe's limited card pool.
As for anthems, I usually prefer the 2 cost options to the 3, although I do like Always Watching. Honor of the Pure is the vanilla option while Rally the Ranks or even Obelisk of Urd could fit in a tribal shell. One thing I thought of while looking at the high number of white pips making the Medallion worse was that you could lean into that and go for a mono-white devotion build. Some anthems like Flowering of the White Tree and Benalish Marshal already fit well in such a deck. You'd definitely want a playset of Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and some sort of payoff for the extra mana like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Walking Ballista, or whatever other bomb you prefer. You'd also want something to play on 1 for that strategy. War Falcon has some synergy with Griffin Rider, Esper Sentinel is a generically powerful draw engine, and Weathered Wayfarer is a classic way to find Nykthos. War Falcon also brings to mind the idea of leaning more into broad flying support like Sephara, Sky's Blade and Rally of Wings, although I acknowledge going down that path could severely dilute the tribal identity of the deck. One final approach I can think of is pivoting to focus on lifegain to use the Griffin Aerie in your maybeboard. You'd definitely need cheaper ways to gain life than True Conviction, especially since I think it's already one of the weaker cards in the deck. The reality is that you'd probably be nudged towards splitting the griffins with angels to take advanatge of Angelic Accord, Bishop of Wings, Speaker of the Heavens, and even Archangel of Thune. Outside of that, the options are more limited. Maybe mass lifelink could be made cheaper with Metallic Mimic plus Envoy of the Ancestors or Abzan Battle Priest. This is the only route where I actually see Path of Bravery being worth it.

This seems a bit more like a multicolour human legends (of LotR) deck than a +1 counter / token deck. That's not a problem, it's a lot more fun to play, but it may help you tighten things up if you build more into this theme.
One of the obvious additions consider that is Relic of Legends, possibly Inga and Esika (though they're not LotR) and We Ride at Dawn. You're running a lot of high mana cards and it will help you get them down. Herald's Horn will really help with not only some card draw, but shaving off 1 of all your creatures will help you cast more, which triggers your commander. Heroes' Podium is similar but can be a little expensive (though will make all your creatures strong). Mirari's Wake is an old standard as well, mana doubling is just good.
Flowering of the White Tree is also good considering all your legendaries, but I see it's in your maybe board already.
You also have a lot of triggered abilities all over the place so Annie Joins Up would work very well, as would any other trigger multiplier.
Crow_Umbra on Allies Bring the Energy

This is a really cool take on Satya, I love this. I recently put him together and went a more "ETB Goodstuff" route with Energy as a minor subtheme to keep around value copies.
Allies were my first favorite Tribe/Kindred/Typal Group from my earliest days of playing 60 card decks at my college kitchen table. One of the first decks I put together was a mono-white Allies, which then shifted to be Orzhov, to include some of the newer vamps from Battle for Zendikar, & Anguished Unmaking from Shadows Over Innistrad. Your build gives me something to reconsider in case I ever want to change up my own deck down the road.
If you're looking to make any more expensive upgrades, I'd recommend checking out:
-
Flowering of the White Tree - Decent static buff for your board, & gives your Legends some extra oomph & protection.
-
Warleader's Call - Impact Tremors with a static buff stapled on.
-
Raise the Palisade - Hose everyone that isn't playing Allies.

Crow_Umbra Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Warleader's Call is a bit out of my budget, but I will keep an eye on it.Flowering of the White Tree is going directly onto the sideboard and it is a more manageable price.

If you can get your hands on a copy or two, I'd recommend Warleader's Call as a swap for Impact Tremors. Flowering of the White Tree might also be a potential swap with the Paladin Class in your sideboard.
Crow_Umbra on Director Isshin's Cut
8 months ago
Just getting to your message, since it was about 4:30am in California when you replied lol. Yeah, Moraug won't work with Sword of the Animist like that. Right now you only have 3 lands that could potentially get you 2 Landfall triggers during your mainphases (Fabled Passage, Evolving Wilds, & Terramorphic Expanse). Without the access to Green effects that increase the number of lands you can drop per turn, I don't think Moraug fits well with the deck. Even with a few Fetchlands to increase the quantity of lands that can get an extra land drop each main phase, I still don't think Moraug moves the needle much here.
Given the number of basics you're currently running, Sword of the Animist would be a better fit than Moraug, or could maybe swap with Two-Handed Axe. If your aim is to go wide with the deck, then doubling the power of a single creature (extra with Isshin), might not be as impactful, especially since about 9 of your 32 creatures have built in evasion (flying & trample), or grant an evasion anthem (menace).
Lastly, I think you could probably swap Paladin Class for Flowering of the White Tree. It gives the blanket Ward 1 that Paladin Class kinda does at its 1st level, & gives a more substantial static buff to all your Legends & same general static buff as Paladin Class, with less mana investment. Paladin Class is 7 mana to get to its 3rd level.

Pretty solid deck! I haven't made a mono colored deck in a while, but Red, White, and Black are the ones I'd probably take a shot at. Just a few quick ideas for stuff that might fit here:
-
Scapegoat and/or Brave the Elements are pretty cheap protection options.
-
If you're not opposed to Universes Beyond, Flowering of the White Tree could be an upgrade to Honor of the Pure. I've really liked it in my aggro decks that can run it. Mostly suggesting since I saw you already have Minas Tirith in your land base.
-
Fanatical Devotion could be a repeatable means of protecting your high value creatures by chucking.
-
More generally speaking, but I think one of the cool things about mono color decks is that you can run more utility lands like Volatile Fault or Scavenger Grounds than multicolor decks can typically get away with.
Best of luck with your deck if you've had a chance to play it irl. Ojer Taq seems ridiculous to get that creature token flowing.
