When this creature enters, mill two cards, then put a +1/+1 counter on this creature for each artifact and/or creature card in your graveyard. (To mill two cards, put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard.)
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Artifact-graveyard lists may test a large Eel, but four mana for a non-evasive creature with no immediate value is far below Modern's rate.

Best home Pinnacle AffinityBand speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A dense artifact self-mill shell could make it consistently enormous enough to justify a niche slot.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Ceti is much slower and less reliable than Barrowgoyf; a four-mana one-shot stat creature is not a credible Legacy payoff.

Band speculativeConfidence 74%

Could be wrong if An existing artifact graveyard shell could value its unusually large ETB scaling more than expected.

Pauper 39 Eng.DUsr.

Affinity can stock artifact cards and test it as a large threat, but unlike Writhing Chrysalis it gives no extra body or immediate board value.

Best home Grixis AffinityBand fringeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Its average ETB size may be too small after normal graveyard hate and artifact recursion.

Commander 31 Eng.D-Usr.

It can enter large in artifact-creature graveyard decks, but is a four-mana vanilla body without evasion, recursion, or card advantage.

Best home Artifact-creature self-millBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Dedicated self-mill lists may reliably make it large enough for its cheap creature payoff to matter.

Limited 59 Eng.C+Usr.

At four mana it will often mill into a 3/3 or 4/4 and can grow larger after trades; that is a solid common body, not a bomb.

Best home Black graveyard deckBand solidConfidence 39%

Could be wrong if Unknown creature density, archetypes, and removal could leave it too often as only a 2/2 or 3/3.

graveyard-scaled creature

“Ceti Eel is a slow, one-shot graveyard payoff whose Limited body is promising but whose Constructed rate is poor.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
