AEtherling

[Mattao19]

How do you guys deal with an  {Ætherling}?
Lets say you don't have a  {Pithing Needle} in hand or on the field. How else can one deal with such a baws

[Imink]

{pasifism} and {murder} and {angelic benediction}

Edit and {angelic edict}

{pasifism} and {murder} and {angelic benediction}

Then they blink it in response so they are only good for a turn

[Imink]

Exile would work

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Exile would work

Again, blink in response and your spell doesn't have a target, so it fizzles.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

There are a few ways to slow down an {AEtherling} but it really depends on what kind of deck you are running, what format, and what you want to stop it from doing.

[Charbelchers rage]

{ jesters cap} or anything that froup tarfets

[Destore117]

{Praetor's Grasp}
Play against them. Learn what their win condition is. Snatch it.

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I believe he means Standard answers.

[Wackaman9001]

If they misplay, {arrest} will work on one

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Cast {Arrest}, when they blink: counter it with {Trickbind}...

[Pirate John]

Standard answers to Aetherling:

1. Pithing needle
2. Blind obedience
3. Counter spell

You could also use that new Theros sovereign who acts like a blind obedience

[Mattao19]

I think I'll put a couple blind obedience a in my sb I have needles too but it's good to be prepared bc at my lgs on average of 22ish players at FNM I've counted 14 of them play  {Ætherling}!! So annoying

A solid answer for it is  {Debtor's Pulpit}. If you can find a cheaper option it would be worth considering main boarding.
