Seafloor Stalker is a evasive, self-replacing threat that draws a card whenever it connects — relevant stats, built-in card advantage, and it only asks for three mana. The cost is that a 2/2 with ward 1 dies to almost any targeted removal and trades down in combat, so it lives or dies on whether you can protect it.

In Commander, Seafloor Stalker is a niche role-player in ninjutsu and combat-matters builds — it's not a staple, but in the right shell it earns its slot. Pauper is where it has the most legitimate competitive consideration, since evasive common threats that draw cards are genuinely scarce at that rarity tier. In Modern and Pioneer the power floor is too high; Seafloor Stalker's stats don't compete with format-defining threats. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters for the same reason, squared.
