About Thought Sponge

Thought Sponge, Creature — sponge, designed by Jason Kang first released in Aug, 2019 in the set Commander 2019. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.71.

This Thought Sponge card would be beneficial in a control or tempo deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's card draw strategy. It can be particularly effective against decks that rely on drawing multiple cards in a turn, as it can enter the battlefield with significant power and potentially draw a large number of cards upon its death. While there may be better cards with similar effects, such as Notion Thief or Alms Collector, Thought Sponge could still see play in certain metagames where card draw is prevalent and important for the opponent's strategy.

Rules

08/23/19

Thought Sponge checks how many cards were drawn by opponents this turn, even opponents who have left the game. The greatest number drawn by a single opponent is how many +1/+1 counters it enters with.

08/23/19

Use Thought Sponge’s power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many cards to draw for its last ability. If that number is negative, you neither draw nor discard cards.
