Aetherling is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

{U}: Exile this creature. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step. {U}: This creature can't be blocked this turn. {1}: This creature gets +1/-1 until end of turn. {1}: This creature gets -1/+1 until end of turn.

How it works : Aetherling

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Aetherling's first ability will return it to the battlefield only if that ability also exiled it. If Aetherling left the battlefield in response to that ability, it won't return, even if it was exiled by another spell or ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Aetherling's last ability can be activated even if its power is 0 or less. If a creature would assign 0 or less damage in combat, it doesn't assign combat damage at all.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
