About Cephalid Retainer
Cephalid Retainer, Creature — octopus, designed by Tony Szczudlo first released in Oct, 2001 in the set Odyssey. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.72.
A control deck that focuses on locking down the opponent's creatures would benefit from using Cephalid Retainer, as it provides a repeatable way to tap down threats without flying. However, there are better options like Frost Titan or Cryptic Command that offer more versatility and impact on the board, making Cephalid Retainer less likely to see play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.
