Random Generator gave me Wild Griffin and Sign in Blood. What's with the griffins, huh? Had this happened early on, Mashup: Alpha would have had a 5 color griffin theme. Maybe I'll slip it into revised if I see another one.

This is pretty potent. The ability is common material, but the casting cost is probably too cheap for common, despite the fact that Mulldrifter exists (and is one of the better commons ever to be printed). But I can't bring myself to increase the casting cost by {1}. There are too many 2's on the card... making it cost 5 would feel wrong...

It's probably sensible to make this uncommon. Mulldrifter was fantastic, but also pretty format-defining (in most formats where it was legal).

I think the lifeloss does mean the cost here is fair. Mulldrifter is at its best when blinked, but if you're blinking this the life loss will start really adding up.
