Power: 5
Keyword(s): Hunter
Ability: Defeated: Take control of a creature with power 2 or less.
Just for reference, creatures that are 2 power and below in Beyond Eternity are:
-Catalisk
-Hypnotic Mouse
-Koibra x2
-Madam Mystique x2
-Radioactive Pest x2
-Squirtoise Scout x2
-Trash Diver
-Trash Flyer
When you have this creature out, I love that you have the option of hunting down these smaller creatures, or purposefully hunting down a higher power creature so that you are defeated and can take control of it. The latter is perfect for the Poisonous creatures listed above, as Spirit Cheetah would be defeated anyways.
This also has a fun interaction with Cursed Gorillion. If your opponent has that card in their discard pile, your options of cards to take as Spirit Cheetah increase!

Powerful card. I would be happy to have some of my lower powered cards mind bugged if I had this guy in my pocket…

Ha! Very good points raised so far. I somehow never considered intentionally defeating this to take control of a lower powered creature 🐒
With the curse of the gorillion, the rest of the sneaky creatures come into the effect range too. That's amazing

Definitely! And while it's a very common move to have a Hunter out and then play a Sneaky (forcing the opponent to deal with the Sneaky or MB it and have the Hunter defeat it), it's an even better play with the Spirit Cheetah, as you can get that MB'd creature right back!
Oh and as a fun fact, this is the only creature so far that has the Defeated trigger and the Hunter keyword!

Defeated and hunter is certainly a unique combination that often allows you to decide when you want the effect 🙂 against something like plated scorpion, it is certainly better attacking into a big creature and stealing it

I like this ability, used to be when defeated it boosts something, this new ability is more fun

Oh yeah, I remember. When it was shared it used to be "Defeated: boost with this." That's why it had the "spirit" in its name

Yes, we ended up changing the two spirit creatures to be things that can take control of something. Indeed this effect is more fun 🙂
