I think it hasn't been playable outside of limited for a very long time though.

Ixalan standard had a powerful monoblue Tempo deck that used Curious Obsession and cheap scry cards to draw a ton while attacking with cheap fliers. I think it was tier 1 actually.

Interesting! I don't really follow standard much to be honest, I was aware of the curious obsession deck but I didn't know that it played giant growth.

Huh. No, sorry, that's a misunderstanding. The monoblue tempo deck didn't play giant growth. I thought you were talking about playing Islands :)
