Slipstream Misstep Failed Fording is a compact tool for tempo and selection in blue decks. At the cost of {1}{U}, this instant bounces any nonland permanent back to its owner's hand, offering immediate disruption or a way to reset a key blocker. The card also rewards Desert synergies by letting you surveil 1 when you control a Desert, turning a bounce into a subtle dig for the card you need next turn.
Use Failed Fording to protect a combo piece, clear a path for an attack, or remove an activated ability on the stack. The foil Near Mint presentation makes it a clean pick for competitive or casual builds that lean on interaction and library manipulation. The card carries a small touch of Outlaws of Thunder Junction flavor with the printed lament from Hope Hagan about a ferry that did not make it, which fits the set's frontier grit.
