This deck is an attempt at a casual Griffin Aerie lifegain deck.

The best version of it was way back in Standard when Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath was still legal there, and I had a blast playing it on Magic Arena.

I first thought of going pure Selesnya this time, but I like Elite Guardmage too much. Plus, we get to "replace" Uro with Shanna, Purifying Blade.

Planar Disruption is a removal that can be found by Bond of Flourishing, which is better here than Revitalize, because it digs deeper for our key permanent, Griffin Aerie, which cares only about our own end step. So the instant speed on Revitalize is kind of wasted.
