## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>CARD REVIEW: GELATINOUS CUBE</strong></center></div>
Seria possível uma carta comum ser muito melhor que várias cartas lendárias de level alto no **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)**? A resposta é **SIM** *(porém depende)* e é sobre isso que eu quero falar hoje. Vamos abordar sobre a **Gelatinous Cube** e a sua capacidade de ser a peça fundamental para o seu time.
Para essa abordagem nós seguiremos esta ordem:
- Estatísticas e Habilidades;
- Distribuição e Preços;
- Regras de combate;
- Batalhas.

## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>ESTATÍSTICAS E HABILIDADES https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/3/3e/Abilities-in-splinterlands.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20210304211914</strong></center></div>
<center>https://i.imgur.com/KwVmw0E.png https://i.imgur.com/1kV3tQW.png https://i.imgur.com/YepPAcJ.png https://i.imgur.com/1kV3tQW.png https://i.imgur.com/5Z3IsjA.png</center>
O **Gelatinous Cube** possui dois leveis principais que fazem total diferença para o funcionamento da carta. O primeiro marco é o level 6 onde ele recebe a habilidade **Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_heal.png que é a habilidade que torna esta carta tão poderosa. Já no level 10 ele recebe a habilidade **Void** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_void.png para garantir resistência absoluta contra os magos.
Esta carta não possui nenhum tipo de poder ofensivo *(dano ou habilidades)*, sendo o seu único objetivo sobreviver o máximo de tempo possível, e para essa função a **Gelatinous Cube** é ótima!
O seu kit de habilidades se combinam de maneira maravilhosa, pois o **Scavenger** https://i.imgur.com/p2OuPAn.png sozinho não seria capaz de tornar esta carta *imortal*, e o **Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_heal.png apesar de dar uma sobrevida grande para as cartas também não garante que o oponente não vá conseguir causar mais dano do que você é capaz de curar, entretanto quando utilizadas juntas é possível sim chegar em uma situação em que o **Gelatinous Cube** é praticamente **imortal** *(o **Void** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_void.png é um bônus extremamente bem vindo para sua versão de level máximo)*.
Essa imortalidade é resultado da alta **Vida** https://i.imgur.com/kUlCAyH.png que a **Gelatinous Cube** pode alcançar, e quanto maior a vida mais alta será a cura que ele recebe.
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>DISTRIBUIÇÃO E PREÇOS</strong></center></div>
<center>https://i.imgur.com/wmeMRLz.png</center>
É importante observarmos que a **Gelatinous Cube** é uma carta **Reward** da edição **Beta**, então mesmo que tenham sido impressas muitas unidades já não há mais tantas cartas circulantes no mercado.
<center>https://i.imgur.com/ctQ6UQn.png</center>
Seu preço nos últimos 6 meses está em tendência de queda, mas isso não é surpresa nenhuma pois é apenas um reflexo do cenário econômico global refletido em um ativo de altíssimo risco.
A sorte é que por ser uma carta de raridade comum somado com a grande queda do mercado estamos em um ótimo momento para cogitar comprar esta carta, e caso você queira experimentá-la antes de comprar sempre há a opção de realizar o aluguel.
### <center>**Alugar**</center>
|<center>**CARTA**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 1**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 6**</center>|
|-|-|-|
|<center>https://i.imgur.com/SZezr1u.png</center>|<center>**<h5>0,10 DEC https://i.imgur.com/48pYioJ.png</h5>**</center>|<center>**<h5>1,5 ~ 3 DEC https://i.imgur.com/48pYioJ.png</h5>**</center>|
### <center>**Comprar**</center>
|<center>**CARTA**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 1**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 6**</center>|
|-|-|-|
|<center>https://i.imgur.com/SZezr1u.png</center>|<center>**<h5>$ 0,69</h5>**</center>|<center>**<h5>$ 31,00</h5>**</center>|
Para alugar seu preço é bem acessível então realmente vale a pena para testar esta carta. Já no caso da compra por ser de uma edição muito antiga seu preço é mais alto quando comparamos com cartas comuns mais recentes, mas ainda assim vale muito a pena cogitar adicionar esta carta à sua coleção.
Eu recomendo fortemente que se você for investir nela *(alugando ou comprando)* você foque na carta no mínimo level 6 pois antes disso ela não possui o fator principal que a torna tão poderosa.

## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>REGRAS DE COMBATE https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/d/d6/Rulesets-in-splinterlands.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20210304211817</strong></center></div>
Entender sobre as regras de combate que favorecem a **Gelatinous Cube** é essencial pois o objetivo desta carta se distoa da maioria das cartas do jogo. A **Gelatinous Cube** tem como único objetivo a **sobrevivência**. O importante para esta carta não é vencer, e sim não perder. Entendendo isso podemos destacar algumas regras de combate que são muito interessantes para fazer bom uso desta unidade.
|<center><strong><h4>FAVORÁVEL</h4></strong></center>|<center><strong><h4>DESFAVORÁVEL</h4></strong></center>|
|-|-|
|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/1/14/Combat-rule_earthquake.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209072022</center>|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/9/98/Combat-rule_healed-out.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209072022</center>||
<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209072022</center>|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a0/Combat-rule_Spreading-Fury.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210308205839</center>||
<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209075101</center>|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a3/Combat-rule_back-to-basics.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209075102</center>|
Falando sobre as regras favoráveis é semper bom utilizarmos a **Gelatinous Cube** em partidas em que há dano por rodada *(em especial a **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022)* pois assim as unidades vão ser mortas rapidamente, resultando em um aumento grande na vida da **Gelatinous Cube** que consequentemente terá sua cura aumentada. A **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 também pode ajudar para que a unidade consiga se esquivar de alguns ataques, aumentando ainda mais sua taxa de sobrevivência.
Sobre as regras negativas devemos evitar sempre as regras que impeçam a **Gelatinous Cube** de se curar afinal esta é a sua maior qualidade *(apesar de que ela ainda poderá ser útil como um escudo de carne com alta vida em algumas situações)*. Também fique atento à regra **Spreading Fury** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a0/Combat-rule_Spreading-Fury.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210308205839 pois esse buff fará com que os ataques dos inimigos aumente bastante e isso facilitará com que eles consigam matar a **Gelatinous Cube**. Esta regra beneficia muito a ofensividade, sendo péssima para esta carta gosmenda.
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>BATALHAS</strong></center></div>
Eu tenho uma partida que exemplifica perfeitamente a função da **Gelatinous Cube** e mostra que para o seu objetivo ela consegue **superar muitas cartas lendárias de level alto**. Quer ver essa carta comum deixando as lendárias comendo poeira?
<center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_727acd8f24ad1b5c33e6fcfca397bd18&ref=underlock)</center>
Temos aqui uma partida em que ambas as composições possuem muitos lendários level 3 *(tendo ao todo 7 lendários)* e outras cartas épicaas e raras, a única carta comum é a **Gelatinous Cube**. Observem também as duas regras de combate desta batalha:
**Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 torna a batalha uma corrida para ver quem consegue se manter de pé até o final, enquanto a **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 ajudará fazendo as unidades focarem os inimigos com a menor vida. Juntando esses dois fatores nós garantimos que a **Gelatinous Cube** será a última carta focada pelo oponente afinal ele possui a maior vida *(e ignorará o dano do **Poison** https://i.imgur.com/1T3vRux.png com sua cura)*, resultando nisso:
<center>https://i.imgur.com/lopYS7J.gif</center>
Enquanto as cartas se degladiavam a **Gelatinous Cube** ficou tranquila apenas se mantendo viva no meio de toda essa destruição até finalmente cair na primeira posição.
**DETALHE IMPORTANTE:** Eu dei a sorte dos dois ataques do **Doctor Blight** não aplicarem o debuff **Affliction** https://i.imgur.com/tcXJ3IC.png pois se isso acontecesse a minha estratégia não teria funcionado. Esta carta é muito chata pois consegue sobreviver bastante com o **Scavenger** https://i.imgur.com/p2OuPAn.png e por não poder ser alvo de ataques por causa da habilidade **Camouflage** https://i.imgur.com/tnQ8WMt.png, simplesmente o counter perfeito de uma unidade de cura.
Ao sobrarem apenas uma carta de cada time que executa a mesma função: **sobreviver**, saiu vitoriosa aquela que tinha a maior vida que no caso é a **Gelatinous Cube**!
<center>https://i.imgur.com/8iUNEE5.png</center>
Observe que neste caso a Gelatinous ainda estava sobre o efeito de **Poison** https://i.imgur.com/1T3vRux.png mas mesmo assim sua cura é tão superior que permitiu que ela permanecesse viva durante os danos de fadiga.
https://i.imgur.com/mSevzMy.png
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS</strong></center></div>
Antes de julgarmos uma carta por conta da sua raridade ou por parecer ser inútil por não ter dano, devemos sempre considerar para quais objetivos e estratégia nos podemos utilizar as cartas, pois sempre haverá alguma maneira de tirar bons proveitos das cartas de **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)** e a **Gelatinous Cube** é o exemplo perfeito disso.

## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>CARD REVIEW: GELATINOUS CUBE</strong></center></div>
Is it possible for a regular card to be much better than several high level legendary cards in **[Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)**? The answer is **YES** *(but it depends)* and that's what I want to talk about today. Let's talk about the **Gelatinous Cube** and its ability to be the cornerstone of your team.
For this approach we will follow this order:
- Statistics and Abilities;
- Distribution and Prices;
- Combat rules;
- Battles.
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>STATISTICS AND ABILITIES https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/3/3e/Abilities-in-splinterlands.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20210304211914</strong></center></div>
<center>https://i.imgur.com/KwVmw0E.png https://i.imgur.com/1kV3tQW.png https://i.imgur.com/YepPAcJ.png https://i.imgur.com/1kV3tQW.png https://i.imgur.com/5Z3IsjA.png</center>
The **Gelatinous Cube** has two main levels that make a total difference to how the card works. The first milestone is level 6 where he gets the ability **Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_heal.png which is the ability that makes this card so powerful. Already at level 10 he receives the ability **Void** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_void.png to guarantee absolute resistance against mages.
This card doesn't have any kind of offensive power *(damage or abilities)*, its only objective being to survive as long as possible, and for that role the **Gelatinous Cube** is great!
Your skill kit combines wonderfully, as **Scavenger** https://i.imgur.com/p2OuPAn.png alone would not be able to make this card *immortal*, and **Heal** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_heal.png although it gives a great survival to the cards it also doesn't guarantee that the opponent won't be able to do more damage than you are able to heal, however when used together it is possible to get into a situation where the **Gelatinous Cube** is practically **immortal** *(the **Void** https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/small/ability_void.png is an extremely welcome bonus for its max level version)*.
This immortality is a result of the high **Life** https://i.imgur.com/kUlCAyH.png the **Gelatinous Cube** can achieve, and the higher the health the higher the healing it receives.
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>DISTRIBUTION AND PRICES</strong></center></div>
<center>https://i.imgur.com/wmeMRLz.png</center>
It is important to note that the **Gelatinous Cube** is a **Reward** card from the **Beta** edition, so even if many units have been printed, there are not so many circulating cards on the market anymore.
<center>https://i.imgur.com/ctQ6UQn.png</center>
Its price in the last 6 months is in a downward trend, but this is no surprise as it is just a reflection of the global economic scenario reflected in a very high risk asset.
The luck is that, as it is a common rarity card, added to the big drop in the market, we are in a great time to consider buying this card, and if you want to try it before buying, there is always the option to rent it.
### <center>**Rent**</center>
|<center>**CARD**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 1**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 6**</center>|
|-|-|-|
|<center>https://i.imgur.com/SZezr1u.png</center>|<center>**<h5>0.10 DEC https://i.imgur.com/48pYioJ.png</h5>**</center>|<center>**<h5>1.5 ~ 3 DEC https://i.imgur.com/48pYioJ.png</h5>**</center>|
### <center>**Buy**</center>
|<center>**CARD**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 1**</center>|<center>**LEVEL 6**</center>|
|-|-|-|
|<center>https://i.imgur.com/SZezr1u.png</center>|<center>**<h5>$0.69</h5>**</center>|<center>**<h5>$31.00</h5>**</center>|
For rent its price is very affordable so it is really worth to test this letter. In the case of buying a very old edition, its price is higher when compared to more recent common cards, but it is still worth considering adding this card to your collection.
I strongly recommend that if you are going to invest in it *(renting or buying)* you focus on the card at least level 6 because before that it doesn't have the main factor that makes it so powerful.

## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>COMBAT RULES https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/d/d6/Rulesets-in-splinterlands.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20210304211817</strong></center></div>
Understanding the combat rules that favor the **Gelatinous Cube** is essential as the purpose of this card differs from most other cards in the game. The **Gelatinous Cube** has the sole purpose of **survival**. The important thing for this card is not to win, but not to lose. Understanding this we can highlight some combat rules that are very interesting to make good use of this unit.
|<center><strong><h4>FAVORABLE</h4></strong></center>|<center><strong><h4>UNFAVORABLE</h4></strong></center>|
|-|-|
|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/1/14/Combat-rule_earthquake.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209072022</center>|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/9/98/Combat-rule_healed-out.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209072022</center>||

<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209075101</center>|<center>https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a3/Combat-rule_back-to-basics.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/69?cb=20210209075102</center>|
Talking about favorable rules it is always good to use the **Gelatinous Cube** in games where there is damage per round *(especially the **Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022)* as this will kill units quickly, resulting in a large increase in **Gelatinous Cube** which will consequently have its healing increased. A **Reverse Speed** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/fb/Combat-rule_reverse-speed.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209075101 can also help the unit to dodge some attacks, further increasing its survivability.
About negative rules we should always avoid rules that prevent the **Gelatinous Cube** from healing after all this is its greatest quality *(although it can still be useful as a meat shield with high health in some situations)*. Also watch out for the **Spreading Fury** rule https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/a/a0/Combat-rule_Spreading-Fury.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210308205839 because this buff will make enemies' attacks increase a lot and this will make it easier for them to kill the **Gelatinous Cube**. This rule greatly benefits offense, and is terrible for this slimy card.
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>BATTLES</strong></center></div>
I have a game that perfectly exemplifies the function of the **Gelatinous Cube** and shows that for its objective it manages to **overcome many high level legendary cards**. Want to see this common card leaving the legendary in the dust?
<center>[](https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_727acd8f24ad1b5c33e6fcfca397bd18&ref=underlock)</center>
Here we have a game in which both compositions have many level 3 legendaries *(having a total of 7 legendaries)* and other epic and rare cards, the only common card is the **Gelatinous Cube**. Also note the two combat rules of this battle:
**Noxious Fumes** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/8/80/Combat-rule_noxious-fumes.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 makes the battle a race to see who can hold their own until the end, while the **Equal Opportunity** https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/f/f4/Combat-rule_equal-opportunity.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/25?cb=20210209072022 will help make units focus on enemies with the lowest health. Putting these two factors together we guarantee that the **Gelatinous Cube** will be the last card focused by the opponent after all he has the highest life *(and will ignore the damage of **Poison** https://i.imgur.com/1T3vRux.png with your cure)*, resulting in this:
<center>https://i.imgur.com/lopYS7J.gif</center>
As the cards clashed, **Gelatinous Cube** was calm just staying alive in the midst of all this destruction until it finally dropped to the first position.
**IMPORTANT DETAIL:** I was lucky that the two attacks of the **Doctor Blight** didn't apply the debuff **Affliction** https://i.imgur.com/tcXJ3IC.png because if that happened my strategy it wouldn't have worked. This card is very annoying because it can survive a lot with the **Scavenger** https://i.imgur.com/p2OuPAn.png and because it cannot be attacked because of the ability **Camouflage** https://i.imgur.com/tnQ8WMt.png, simply the perfect counter to a healing unit.
When there is only one card left from each team that performs the same function: **survive**, the one with the highest life, which in this case is the **Gelatinous Cube**, emerged victorious!
<center>https://i.imgur.com/8iUNEE5.png</center>
Note that in this case Gelatinous was still under the effect of **Poison** https://i.imgur.com/1T3vRux.png but even then her healing is so superior that it allowed her to stay alive during fatigue damage.
https://i.imgur.com/mSevzMy.png
<center>https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/a2pphso.png</center>
## <div class="phishy"><center><strong>FINAL CONSIDERATIONS</strong></center></div>
Before judging a card because of its rarity or because it seems useless because it doesn't have damage, we should always consider what objectives and strategy we can use the cards for, as there will always be some way to make good use of the cards of **[Splinterlands ](https://splinterlands.com?ref=underlock)** and the **Gelatinous Cube** is the perfect example of this.
