Rationale
A-Blessed Hippogriff is a 4-mana 2/3 flying creature with an attached Adventure (A-Tyr's Blessing) that functions as a white protection/combat trick instant for {1}{W}. The Adventure can be cast first for tempo value before eventually deploying the creature. It sees niche play in Brawl white midrange or tempo shells as a two-in-one, but neither half is particularly powerful on its own. The Hippogriff subtype grants minor bird typal synergy.
