Outclassed by other similar cards such as Shadowmage Infiltrator, Sygg River Guide, and Cold Eyed Selkie. The 3 toughness is pretty worthless since it still dies to bolt just as easy as a 1/1 would.

And Ohran Viper! This card is unimpressive without evasion of some kind.
Simply outclassed by way too many creatures, too many ways to deal with small creatures that don't either have relevant ETB (or LTB, I suppose) effects, has to survive through an untap step, etc. etc. Let's just say that Snapcaster Mage outclasses this so bad for the small blue creature with card advantage tacked on that it ceases to be funny.
Ophidian was once good. That time has come and gone, my friends.
Rating: 0/5, would not play, same deal.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
Cold eye selkie basically invalidates all other Ophidion variants because it has the potential to draw multiple cards per hit and in the matchups where cards in hand matter the most (blue mirrors), it's basically guaranteed to hit if it attacks.

This is being discussed.
On topic with the card, I have to agree with the crowd and say I would probably never play this card in a Modern deck.
Merfolk decks will play Silvergill Adept before this trash.
