Strategy
Hellcat is a recursive threat that punishes opponents for removing her. Every time she dies, she comes back stronger with a +1/+1 counter, losing her abilities but keeping haste to pressure the table immediately. Your game plan revolves around leveraging her evasion and resilience—she's nearly impossible to permanently remove, so you'll want to maximize her damage output and use her repeated deaths as a trigger engine for sacrifice payoffs and graveyard synergies.
Build around effects that reward you when creatures die or enter the battlefield repeatedly. Cards that double damage, grant additional combat steps, or trigger from creature ETBs turn Hellcat's natural recursion into card advantage. Equipment that persists through her cycles (like ones that grant evasion or damage output) make her harder to block and faster to win. Consider pairing her with sacrifice outlets to control when she dies and stack those triggers; this also fuels graveyard strategies and lets you abuse Plan enchantments or other death-matter payoffs.
