Hi guys, what a great card to comment this week! It will be really hard to keep it simple and reasonably short... Let's try ;) ## Card analysis <p><div class="pull-right"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/splinterlands/n6IPFbPa-Gelatinous20Cube.png"></img></div> <i>Gelatinous Cube</i> (<b>THE CUBE</b>) is a common reward card currently being printed (about 30% to date). It is THE ONLY card presenting a game changer ability combo: <br/><b><i>Heal + Scavenger</i></b>. <br/>Moreover at higher level it presents also <b><i>void</i></b> ability that adds it further endurance. </p> Main focus: * No attack (just a flabby absorbing) * 13 health (highest value for a self-healing monster) intended to rise due to scavenger: the more health rises, the more will be recovered by self-healing, giving rise to an unknown scenario so far: the <center><b><i>WINNING BY FATIGUE</i></b></center> This is the huge power of the cube, making it a game changer card in: - *Low mana* matches full of easy-to-kill puppets - *Earthquake ruleset* (no need fo fatigue if the earth quakes and monsters get killed faster, rapidly increasing cube's health) And really useful in high-mana matches as: - Sniper defender (really effective against cards like [Spirit of the forest](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=33&gold=false&edition=1&tab=stats), [Twisted Jester](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=51&gold=false&edition=1&tab=stats), [Centaur](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=63&gold=false&edition=1&tab=stats), [Mantoid](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=192&gold=false&edition=4&tab=stats), ...) - Sneak defender (willing to win by fatigue) Use as a tank at your own risk, there is an high probability of being stunned or afflicted (support by cleanse monster will be indispensable) . [Lord Arianthus](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=82&gold=false&edition=3&tab=stats) is more suited to play as not-attacking tank. As a sneak defender there are several different monsters playable, so I prefer placing the cube as a sniper-defender, so that it will become tank with an higher health and hopefully with a lower opposite tank attacking power. ## The match I play since few months to this beautiful game. I have invested some 💲💲💲 but not so much. So there are several really powerful cards that I don't own. As a consequence I definitely hate them. [Lord Arianthus](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=82&gold=false&edition=3&tab=stats) is for sure my enemy #1 card. [Spirit of the forest](https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=33&gold=false&edition=1&tab=stats) is another. But who matters, I have the cube! This is so satisfying (SPOILER ALERT): <p align="center"> <img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNbRHfx1TKeQzXJ3MuRM5L9bx825Ev1Jr4TecX5V2KDTg/1.gif" /> </p> *It's difficult to forget such an epilogue* But let's start from the beginning. Today I will share with you 2 matches ([here](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=a1d0520585541ddc4066cd33148b1e75ddd5385e&ref=madgol) and [here](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=ee819933005ab62e207c38d522c221239ae4785f&ref=madgol)) that I think are really explicative of the power of the cube. They are really really similar, showing the cube in earthquake working with opportunity's screecting volture. <p><div class="pull-left"><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfBhaajbmEcAoDv9Mq6KpcX6tiwHMepBHt7BwW9iEYfpi/image.png"></img></div></p> <p><div class="pull-left"><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd8K8SmFXZ6DhSsz26nFGYi5ntrxQjEPeg5HDib57iG4T/image.png"></img></div></p> ___ My lineup is exactly the same in both matches, and also my opponents one (essentially: LA + some monster + Spirit of the Forest).  The common script: - Cocatrice rapidly killed - All puppies dies in first earthquake and cube gets the power. - Vulure kills critical monsters (mostly the chief). Then history changes, but epilogue is the same: **CUBE RULES** in loooooong matches. First time by earthquake, second time by fatigue.  ## Bonus track match Ok, ok. I also *have to* share [this crazy match](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=0a8d368ee4881e10eef22773644c4e5c2f47b537&ref=madgol). No earthquake. Just a normal match, but with **CUBE vs CUBE** 😱 😱😱 . Another little spoiler:  ## Final considerations *With great power comes great responsibility*, yes, but in Splinterlands comes also great weaknesses... or *NERFING*🤣. Despite being really powerful if well played, I think the cube will not be nerfed, because as a 6 mana card it really struggles to survive in some other situations, expecially if it is stunned, afflicted or against *really* high attacks. So a great card, at the right mana price. Cheers! ___ *If you like my posts and are new to Splinterlands, what are you waiting for, take a team!

I LOVE THIS POST. For real. You gots the info. You gots the puppies (though they perish) and you got the tips! I was actually wondering about the possibility of a nerf on this card... you know, once more people find out its powers. But I tend to agree with you, it DOES have trouble in certain situations. OMG! I LOVE the Lord A getting destroyed by The Cube gif! I feel you. I also despise the cards I don't have. 🤣 I feel that's fair. Oh! That makes me think of the Unicorn back when it was first released. There was so much animosity in its general direction... generally. 🤣
