Combos Utilizing Cephalid-Vandal

dodge damage prevention effects, use painbringer to fend off attackers, and puppetteer to untap your grinder/painbringer

This Combo only works in a deck of mostly artifacts: play the panoptic mirror, imprinting the Roar of Reclamation. Then play the Cephalid Vandal. I don't know if the order of cards that say "at the beginning of ur upkeep...." can be decided, or if they are all at the same time, which ever way you play, this combo works. (if you know if the order can be decided or not, plz tell me)

sac gauntlets-exchange vandal with opponent's creature. pacificy vandal. opponent can't attack or block with vandal & he mills cards from library during his upkeep

donate the vandal and watch them get ground to death, throw in some howling mines, and a grindstone and watch just how fast a 65 card library can go...

morph the chromeshell crab, and exchange control of the vandal and an opponent's creature. brilliant!

ur deck should have lots of creatures. u get alot of them into ur graveyard using cephalid vandal then u living death or misery.
