I threw this in on a lark, and it has really over-performed. The body is serviceable, and the discard is occasionally relevant. But more important, a cube deck always has some pretty good stuff lying around in the sideboard.
I've been astonished at just how powerful it is to pay 4 for Granted. That expensive bomb I didn't think would fit in this deck? That extra disenchant effect you didn't think you needed in the main board? That off-color value creature you happen to have a treasure for? There's usually something good to grab.
Casting Granted is just a devastating tempo loss, and the body on its own is bad. If you tutor an answer you need massive amounts of mana to use it in the same turn. I think this card can only work in lower powered cubes, and in standard it was only good because the deck that played it had insane ramp and could double the effect.

Granted only grabs non-creature cards, by the way.

And a 1/4 flying is not a bad play on turn two.
