Splinterlands - Gelatinous Cube Card Very Under Rated
Sometimes you come across a card that just seems like it costs to much mana to be useful in any matches. There are cheaper cards out there that I can add to my lineups to get better results.
Gelatinous Cube
I found the Gelatinous Cube to be one of those cards that just on the surface, you would not want to use. It cost 6 mana with no attack. It is slow with only a speed of 1 and has 8 Health.
Noxious Fumes
I found a very good use for this card. The Gelatinous Cube has the Scavenger Ability. It gains 1 Max health every time a monster dies. When you get match set rules that have Noxious Fumes, the go to card should be Gelatinous Cube because a lot of monsters will die. It is a neutral card that can be used with any splinter so it will not matter which splinter the rule set limits, the gelatinous cube can still be added to your lineup.
Here is one of my matches where I used it so you can see how it works. The match had a 42 mana limit with Holy Protection and Noxious Fumes. The only splinter that could not be used was Dragon. I have also found that it can not be used with the rule set "Taking Sides" because it is a Neutral card.

Buy Vs Rent
I would suggest that you rent the card first to see how it would fit into your lineup prior to making the purchase based on the current card prices.
I am currently renting it but will be adding it to my card collection in the near future. Several believe the card prices will decrease when the new Chaos Legion card packs can be opened. If that is the case, I have started a list of several cards that I will be purchasing and one of them will be the Gelatinous Cube
Cost of renting the Gelatinous Cube is only 0.10 DEC per day with a collection power of 15 for the level 1 card. I find it very cheap to rent vs buy at this time. To purchase the card, it costs $3.10 or 289.182 DEC so you could rent it for 2,892 days or about 7.9 years to breakeven.
Lore
I always like sharing the Lore of the cards I present in my blogs so that the user can understand the backstory. It find the Lore very interesting for all of the cards. With all of the Lore, the foundations for a great TV series or Movie is already established.
Personally I love this card, one of my faves, it has enormous healing capacity when maxed!
That is great to know. I have only been playing since May so still have a lot to learn. I came across this card by accident and fell in love with it. Are there other lower priced useful cards that I should consider adding to my deck?
I'm focussing on some of the reward cards:
The Pelacor life dude and Venari Crystalmith, the Earth Venari thing and Naga Assassin.
Besides those Screaching Vulture and the Sea Genie look good value to me!

Love this card too! It's great when paired with the Owster Rotwell summoner against an opponent using magic attack or when playing a couple low mana blockers that die quickly and provide the extra health boost to this card while the back cards do the heavy lifting. Very versatile! !PIZZA
Good information to know. Thanks for sharing. I am still learning so appreciate all the feedback I receive.
It has really won me many matches in noxious fume. Always add in my lineup for this ruleset.
Hmm I am using Almo Cambio for this purpose, but it's more expensive to rent. Hehe!
The Gelatinous Cube is cheaper but it can be killed of quicker (if no other cards are killed) than the Almo Cambio since it has lower health than Almo Cambio. It is worth a try and get it at only 0.10 DEC renting it, to see how it works with the other cards you are using. You never know you may want to use both the Gelatinous Cube and the Almo Cambio in your line up with the rule set Noxious Fumes
That's true! Something for me to consider. Thanks for the suggestion!
It is not a bad idea to get a list of cards to add to your deck.
https://www.splintercards.com/reward-gelatinous-cube has the price history. It has been fairly stable over the past month. !LOL

I keep forgetting about the splintercards website. Thanks for the reminder.

A really great card, especially, when you or the other player has resurrection and the Cube gets two health quickly, when the same card dies within one or two attacks.
Thanks for the information. I do not yet have a card with resurrection. Which one would you recommend for me to research?
Earth legendary (42$ right now) Spirit Druid Grog is an example, but you don't have have a resurrection card yourself.
Life monster High Priest Darius has resurrect at level 1, too. There are a few others who gain resurrect at a higher level, but I'm not quite there yet :O).
Thank you for that gold nugget. calculating the daily rental cost of a card versus the purchase price. 7 years to break even is incredible.
