If a Manic Vandal is essentially a Gray Ogre that smashes the opponent's Bubbling Cauldron when it hits the battlefield
The card hasn't started seeing play in any new decks, and there aren't any freshly popular MTG commanders it plays well with
It is a very odd mana rock, because you are spending mana to get 1 less than you spent, but I think the threat here is that it then also becomes an 8/8 that makes opponents start sacrificing permanents, which seems pretty strong, especially since it is safe from creature-based removal until you turn it on
Without those adding one of these to your deck may be worth it but it is the kind of thing I would counterbalance by adding more fixing or increasing my land count to do
Youve got Restless Anchorage to play with as well, which is a land that can become a 2/3 creature with Flying for three mana
