About Slipstream Eel

Slipstream Eel, Creature — fish beast, designed by Mark Tedin first released in Oct, 2002 in the set Onslaught and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 7.61.

A deck that focuses on controlling the battlefield and manipulating opponents' resources, such as a blue control deck, would benefit from Slipstream Eel as it can act as a conditional threat that can be cycled away if not needed. However, there are likely better options for a finisher or utility creature in most competitive Magic: The Gathering decks, such as Torrential Gearhulk or Vendilion Clique, which offer more impactful abilities and immediate board impact. Slipstream Eel may not see much play in higher-level competitive settings due to its restrictive conditions and relatively low impact compared to other options available.
