The Cheetah Planet

Plane — Outside Mutter's Spiral

Planechase design rarely hands you a repeatable board-state upgrade, but this one does something stranger: it turns whatever you control into cats. The upkeep trigger both grows a creature and grafts the Cat type onto it, which means the plane slowly assembles a tribe that did not exist when you planeswalked in. That conversion is the whole conceit. Provoke, historically a red-and-green combat keyword that forces a chosen blocker into a bad fight, becomes the plane's chaos payoff, and it only rewards you for the tribe the plane itself is manufacturing. So the two abilities feed one another across a game: every upkeep adds a Cat and two counters, and every chaos roll lets that growing pride drag the defending player's creatures into combat one at a time. The design leans on Planechase's rhythm rather than fighting it. You are not building a Cat deck to visit here; the plane is building the Cat deck around whatever happens to be on the battlefield, and the longer you stay the more lopsided the forced-block math gets. It is a flavor conceit (a world where things become cats) rendered as a genuine mechanical loop, and provoke is what redeems the transformation from cosmetic novelty: a synthetic pride is only worth assembling if you can point it at the blocks the opponent least wants to make.

Rules text

When you planeswalk to The Cheetah Planet and at the beginning of your upkeep, put two +1/+1 counters on target non-Cat creature you control. It becomes a Cat in addition to its other types. Whenever chaos ensues, all Cats gain provoke until end of turn. (Whenever a Cat attacks, its controller may have target creature defending player controls untap and block it if able.)
