Being a "ghost" card, the slimeball can be easily overlooked. While in the low leagues it's just a "meat" for taking some damage off, at gold level it becomes a a deadly (pun intended) threat to the opposing team, especially in low mana matches. The cursed slimeball is the onlu common card with the "redemption" ability in the game currently. I will talk more about the cursed slimeball when I start my series about powerful synergies in the game, but now I want to mention 2 really powerful uses of it's ability - upon death (supposedly the very first turn) it either destroys the shield that Tyrus or Kelya provide (and for Tyrus that's the only ability he provides, thus turning it useless) or the divine shield that Lorna provides (also her only ability).

Whereas at lvl.1 it's useful as a meat shield in low mana cap games, at lvl.6 the cursed slimeball really starts shining and while it currently costs around 50$ (only 1 left at that price, with the next being over 70$), on the rental market it's less than 20 Dec, which makes it quite affordable.
