Seeing the name and expecting an enchantment but then getting an actual Sponge creature is a beautiful thing.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

It's like Toothy, Imaginary Friend and Notion Thief had a baby! It's no Notion Thief but it's got some nice perks nonetheless.
The Good:
- Can be huge!
- Can be grown over time - natural fit into Proliferate builds featuring Roalesk, Atraxa, etc. .
- Can draw a ton of cards in the right deck.
The Bad:
- "Dies" trigger for draw means it can get hosed by bounce, exile, transform, and tuck effects (which are ubiquitous in the meta).
- Weird place where it is bad against "fair" decks (where it'll just be a 3/3 that draws 2 on death) but too slow and easily answered versus the kind of unfair decks where it seems like it'd get to wreck house as a 10/10 for 3U.

Looks very interesting. Worst case scenario, you get Youthful Scholar with flash, which isn't great, but not unplayable either - you can block and cash it in for cards immediately. Expected case of waiting for an opponent to cast a Harmonize or other draw spell results in a pretty powerful card. And in the best-case scenario, where you're able to throw more counters on it / proliferate / otherwise increase its power, then it becomes pretty absurd.
So.... medium floor, high ceiling, high variance. Seems fun.
Also: Sponge voltron sounds hilarious. Throw on a Colossus Hammer and beat down with the biggest sponge ever.

Needs a sac outlet in case of Evacuation, Whelming Wave, etc. Could be fun with the usual cards, or just with Prosperity.
