Strategies

With

Cheese Cutter is an average 1 cos 2/2 zombie. These are already pretty good, but he tops it off by Conjuring discounted gourmet cards if left unchecked.

He's not so good in aggressive decks since the cards you obtain might not help early enough to take the win. In tempo decks, he is great, as you are putting value onto the field and having cheaper cards to play can help you to get ahead of your opponent. He's also good in control decks, as you're forcing your opponent to decide on whether to let him hit them to charge their Super-Block Meter but letting you gain additional cards or wasting their small removals on him.

Since his Conjure ability adds a card to the Zombie Hero's hand, he can easily activate Dino-Roar abilities.

Cheese Cutter is a good pick in any Beastly deck, and each hero can use him well in their own ways:

• Brain Freeze can use him with Dr. Spacetime to make the gourmet cards he Conjures cost 2 brains less instead of 1 less. In addition, he can use Smoke Bomb to move Cheese Cutter into an empty lane so that he can activate his ability. Not to mention, he can Bounce plants that are blocking his lane with Backyard Bounce and Pogo Bouncer so that he can hit the plant hero. He can also play him in Laser Base Alpha to allow Cheese Cutter to easily hit the plant hero. You can also boost him with cards that give him Frenzy such as Area 22 and Maniacal Laugh to easily destroy plants blocking his attack and hit the plant hero. However, those are mid to late-game plays, and you are better off playing simple boosting cards just to keep him alive.
• Electric Boogaloo can play him in Moon Base Z or on Disco Dance Floor to guarantee a hit on the plant hero. He can also use cheap damaging tricks such as Bungee Plumber, Exploding Fruitcake, and Final Mission to destroy plants blocking Cheese Cutter.
• The Smash can use Hearty cards such as Possessed, Camel Crossing, Monster Mash, Going Viral, or Escape through Time to boost Cheese Cutter's survivability. He can also play him in Cone Zone to boost his health easily, but keep in mind that Mega-Grow heroes can use cards such as Banana Peel, Sweet Pea and Whipvine to move him out of the environment. Guardian heroes can also do the same thing with Gardening Gloves, although Beta-Carrotina has access to Ensign Uproot, while any plant hero can easily replace that environment with another of their own. He can also move plants that are blocking his lane with Terrify or Sumo Wrestler so that he can activate his ability. Lastly, using Flag Zombie in swarm decks can help overwhelm the opponent, espically when you can also play him alongside other threatening 1-cost cards like Genetic Experiment and Fraidy Cat.
• Immorticia can make him do bonus attacks which can be handy when your opponent decides to block it with a plant, or allow Cheese Cutter to Conjure an extra gourmet card. She can also play him on an empty lane during the Zombie Tricks phase with Teleport or Teleportation Zombie to easily strike the plant hero. She can also give him the Untrickable trait via Parasol Zombie to prevent Cheese Cutter from getting destroyed by Whack-a-Zombie, Berry Blast, or other removal cards.

For easy reference, here is the list of cards Cheese Cutter can Conjure and their cost change:

Another Cheese Cutter: 1 → 0 Healthy Treat: 1 → 0 Mystery Egg: 1 → 0 Nibble: 1 → 0 Trapper Territory: 1 → 0 Yeti Lunchbox: 1 → 0 Conga Zombie 2 → 1 Cryo-Brain: 2 → 1 Energy Drink Zombie: 2 → 1 Exploding Fruitcake: 2 → 1 Hot Dog Imp: 2 → 1 Leftovers: 2 → 1 Lurch for Lunch: 2 → 1

Sugary Treat: 2 → 1 Brain Vendor: 3 → 2 Medulla Nebula: 3 → 2 Trick-or-Treater: 3 → 2 Vitamin Z: 3 → 2 Overstuffed Zombie: 4 → 3 Primordial Cheese Shover 4 → 3 Thinking Cap: 4 → 3 Coffee Zombie: 6 → 5 King of the Grill: 6 → 5 Gargantuars' Feast: 11 → 10

Against

Your opponent can get a huge card advantage if this stays on the field. He can be taken out easily on turn 1 by most plant cards. He can also be destroyed using a Banana Bomb unless he gets a health boost. But for most of the time, try to block Cheese Cutter with any plant as his ability only activates when he hurts the plant hero. You can also use Soul Patch to prevent his ability from activating, but beware of cards such as Locust Swarm which can easily destroy Soul Patch.

Due to his low strength and health, you may resort to instant kills like Whack-a-Zombie, Devour and Chomper

You may also want to get rid of environments that will activate his ability. These include Moon Base Z, Ice Moon and Laser Base Alpha
