Sink Your Foes in the Gelatinous Abyss
The Gelatinous Cube from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms embodies the slow, inevitable menace lurking beneath dungeon corridors. Its Engulf ability turns it into a battlefield lockdown, exiling an opponent’s non-Ooze creature the moment it hits play. This is not mere removal; it’s a strategic exile that lasts as long as the Cube remains, forcing opponents to rethink their board presence while you control the tempo.
With Dissolve, you gain a unique form of targeted removal by investing mana equal to a creature’s cost to send it to the graveyard. This skill makes the Cube highly versatile against a broad range of threats, providing a scalable answer perfect for midrange and control decks. Combining Gelatinous Cube with sacrifice outlets or graveyard recursion spells enhances its value and board control, while its 4/3 body holds its ground adeptly in combat.
