He does not have any traits, and his ability Conjures a gourmet card, including another Cheese Cutter, every time he does damage to the plant hero and reduces its cost by 1, unless the zombie hero already has 10 cards in their hand.

His design is based on a chef, a professional cook.
It may also come from a metaphor for farting as well as the phrase "Who cut the cheese?".

He's a standard 2/2 zombie but he has a good ability that makes him worth using. In this case, it allows you to Conjure discounted gourmet cards but it requires damage to hit your opponent. Hence, you need to play alongside other cards, preferably on turn 2.
He's great in tempo decks, 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.
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.
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
For easy reference, here is the list of cards Cheese Cutter can Conjure and their cost change:
Since he Conjures a card if he hits the plant hero, he also works well with Dino-Roar cards.
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.
