About Resplendent Griffin
Resplendent Griffin, Creature — griffin, designed by Sam Rowan first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan.
This Resplendent Griffin card would be a great addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering that focuses on stalling the game and accumulating permanents to trigger the Ascend ability. While it has potential to become a powerful threat with the city's blessing, there are better options like Lyra Dawnbringer that provide more immediate impact and value. However, if the deck is built around the Ascend mechanic and can consistently trigger it, Resplendent Griffin could see play as a fun and thematic choice for players looking to experiment with different strategies.
Rules
01/19/18
If you cast a spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.
01/19/18
If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the “Legend Rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
01/19/18
Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.
01/19/18
Some cards have triggered abilities with an intervening “if” clause that checks whether you have the city’s blessing. These are worded “[Trigger condition], if you have the city’s blessing, [effect].” You must already have the city’s blessing in order for these abilities to trigger; otherwise they do nothing. In other words, there’s no way to have the ability trigger if you don’t have the city’s blessing, even if you intend to get it in response to the triggered ability.
