Tainted Aether 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.

Official card text

Whenever a creature enters, its controller sacrifices a creature or land of their choice.

How it works : Tainted Aether

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the creature changes controllers before this ability resolves, its new controller has to sacrifice something.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If more than one of these is on the battlefield, the controller sacrifices a creature for each one of these.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the controller has no other lands or creatures on the battlefield, they must sacrifice the creature that just entered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Tainted Aether's controller is the one that controls its triggered ability, but the controller of the creature that entered chooses what creature they sacrifice during resolution.
