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 2.37.
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.

Cycling is an activated ability. Effects that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle or Rings of Brighthearth) will interact with cycling. Effects that interact with spells (such as Remove Soul or Faerie Tauntings) will not.
