so can anything be responded to in when the loss life would happen?
Triggers cannot be placed on the stack before the first upkeep. The trigger condition is met before the first turn, but the triggers don't go on the stack until the first upkeep. You can respond to those triggers as you please.
why griffins? would any threat not suffice? i can think of more resilient threats, especially considering none of these super decks seem to have exile effects.
He's using griffins to combine with Serum Powder to sculpt his opening hand and have threats available from exile.

Any threat is not sufficient. The requirements are basically that it doesn't get hit by surging flames, cost three or less (only 1 black lotus required), and can be pitched to your life gain spell against chancellor (nourishing shoal/soul spike) unless of course your deck just beats those decks without a threat. Also it is nice to have something that can beat through animated leylines. Thus I have chosen phyrexian crusader. Griffin works because you exile so many that you probably won't run out of threats. My only worry is that you would run out of lotuses.
