Nice stats for uncommon. But no chance this cracks my cube. Hellkite, conscripts, and siege gang are far and away better and there are probably like 8 other five drops I'd play first.

Yup. This isn't cubeable.
Not cubeable seems exaggerated to me. The stats / abilities are definitely there, it's just a matter of what you want. Having a 5th toughness can make this more attractive to people over something like Glorybringer / Zealous Conscripts / Stormbreath Dragon.
There's definitely a difference between "uncubeable" and "cubeable but has a lot of competition." This is definitely a card that falls in the latter category.
This is a really good creature for an uncommon. Reality Smasher's anti-removal buff is a big deal, as is its ability to be splashed into decks via just colorless mana sources. But this creature is good. I think the competition at the 5cc red creature slot is too steep, but it's not far off. Kinda surprising to see a creature with these stats at this rarity.

Ok that's fair, I consider something uncubeable if I am playing it over a number of cards I'm already not playing that are better, so this is more of a matter of semantics than anything else. A number of years ago I'd be running this without irony, but alas here we are.

Yeah, we think it's closer than most have pointed out. Real stat monster. Will be a pain in XLN limited. What the heck they just did...
It prob should be rare (or changed) for limited reasons. Can't wait to potentially see one of these every time my opponents play mountain in limited...
I've never played a peasant cube but I would bet it'd be a house there.
Absolutely, red 5s have been such a weak slot in Peasant cubes that a lot of people have been running nothing at all over the choices available. I'm looking forward to trying this out in mine.

StaffMono red Reality Smasher seems super pushed for an uncommon. Thoughts?

Compared to Thundermaw Hellkite, this isn't quite going to make it, but the Monstrosaur is definitely a skilled ender of games.
