Post Saturday Pauper Tournament Update #2 —May 23, 2018
After doing a bit more experimenting and looking at some well-performing decks in the format I think I've figured out some improvements.
I've moved 3 out of the 4 oblivion rings in the deck over to the side board, replacing them with 4 copies of Journey to Nowhere to keep things a little bit faster. Enchantment based removal is more important in the deck now, as I've adopted a bit of an enchantment sub-theme.
I replaced 2 shelters and 2 Marshaling cries with 4 copies of ethereal armor. The armor also synergies with the 4 copies of nyxborn shieldmate and 2 copies of Hopeful Eidolon I threw into the main deck. These creatures are good for not only powering up the griffins in the late game, but powering up the armor as well.
I've also removed the copies of Banishing Light as it rarely, if ever, came up as a useful draw.
I'm considering splashing green for rancor, as I think it would be the push necessary to send this deck over the top. We'll see how this weekend's Pauper event goes.

SliverKing90 that's a bug on tappedout.
Mistmoon Griffin is avaliable on common MTGO with Vintage Masters.

21 Plains works, but you can add Secluded Steppe to cycle the flood every once and a while.
I guess Slash of Talons is more flavorful than Righteous Blow? I belive Sunlance is a better removal, but you can at least use them in the sideboard.Alley Evasion really benefits decks that have more ETB effects, you're better off with Gods Willing and Emerge Unscathed.
Expose Evil could be an upgrade to Djeru's Renunciation.
But, instead of that, let's captalize on the Griffin's Vigilance.Try Lashknife, Ramosian Rally and Orim's Cure
