This is an alternate history where Celestia did not choose to reform Discord.

Magical Mystery Cure happens on schedule. Plundervines don't. It was the additional chaos Discord was generating that caused them to pop up.

Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.
