RE: Monsters lose all abilities - it's not ALL about the Peaceful Giant! (Splinterlands Challenge of the Week)

I would have thought the cube would be more useful for one more mana!
Having said that, they're all useful, but most of us ordinary folks have to make choices because of our budgets!

sometimes you just can't spare that 1 mana. in a low mana battle, that's the difference from being able to kill the enemy backline and losing to a cube. also a cube starts with a lot less hp, so some strategies simply can't work with it. there's also the healed out ruleset preventing heals
the number one factor in rise of the commons is, monsters just don't have that much damage. get a peaceful giant, a healer and debuff the enemy's attack. you are likely going to win.
ie: bortus / zintar / contessa, peaceful giant, snipers, debuffers (silence, headwinds, demoralize)
I think cube is better at the 20 mana range, while giant is better at ~16
but I do agree cube is a better choice more often than not. it's just very vulnerable against opponents who use a melee and a non-snipe ranged attacker
