Oh yeah, I absolutely agree. I feel like it's similar to something like Tarmogoyf in that way. 'Goyf is often a turn 3 4/5 or larger in those formats, whereas he's typically a turn three 2/3 maybe if you're lucky in the cube. I think Treasure Cruise would probably be fine for peasant and pauper lists and maybe for larger rare cubes just for some random value. I'm not running anything at 550 that seems worse, though.
I think the fact that this card is seeing heavy play across multiple constructed formats as well as being very solid in limited makes it worth at least discussing. Obviously being good in other formats doesn't make a card good in cube, but being good in all of the other formats should raise an eyebrow.
