King Cheetah is a 3/1 flash creature with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no evasion — what you see is what you get, and what you get is underwhelming. Flash is the entire selling point, and a 3/1 body for four mana is too fragile and too expensive to justify the slot in most builds.

King Cheetah is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Pauper, where commons fight for real slots, a vanilla-adjacent 3/1 flash creature for four mana doesn't clear the bar — better flash threats exist at lower costs. In Commander, King Cheetah has no enters-the-battlefield trigger, no evasion, and no synergy hook, so it rarely earns a spot over creatures that do more work. Legacy and Vintage have long since moved past four-mana creatures that only offer a surprise blocker.
