Alright. I like the card {Ætherling}. A lot. And I was wondering if there was anyway to make it fit in a modern deck. So here's my thought. Ramp into it. A turn three of four Aetherling is pretty darn good. I need help though and have no idea how to make it work. Thoughts?
Personally I feel it is unplayable in modern. Even ramping into it does not guarantee to have an open mana available to save him from removal. A ramp deck should be doing better things with a six mana creature IMHO.
Could maybe be a control deck win condition. That's about all I've got for it though.

There are better cards to win in control with
Yeah, the biggest problem is that you are looking at 7 mana for it to be effective and a UG shell to make it work, you might as well play {Scapeshift} at that point.
Scapeshift+ ætherling??
Scæpthershift?

That's true, I didn't say it was the best control deck win condition, I just said it could be one
It is an out of the box idea and I do not mean to shoot it down without giving it a thought.
I just think any deck with {U} as control is doing other things with their mana. Casting a {6} CMC creature is not typically what {U} control wants to do. Then you talk about ramp and {G} comes to mind......at that point your {6} CMC creature may as well be a {primeval titan} or something like that. I am just trying to wrapt head around a deck that what's that {6} CMC creature so bad and I do not see it.
It takes a lot of mana to get him to the point that he is swinging unblockable as a big creature and at that point, what does your opponents board state look like?
