I'd like this card better if it were a merfolk. As it were though, killer limited card.

Check the artwork. It's like she's channeling the end of the Unsummon guy's body through the vortex. :D

It feels odd that R&D reduces the color dependencies usually and than increases it for blue cards.
I don't feel so happy with this card. As a Wizard, I would expect a tap ability. This is a one-shot on a Bear/Cat.

I really liked this card at prerelease, I played it alongside frost titan to tap down one creature and send the other back to their hand. It made for great tempo shifts, and between sleep, the adept, and frost titan, could lock down a lot of decks. The only problem cards I ever faced with aether adept was arc runner (since it doesn't stick around to get bounced), and reassembling skeleton, since it only costs two and then I didn't want to waste my exiling cards on a 2 cmc creature and they never attacked for me to condemn it. All in all a very useful utility card.

Great turn 3 card if you have other stuff out. goes well with any blue deck that uses creatures.

An unsummon on a creature doesn't seem to do too much. Not too thrilled about this card.
I'd like to see a cheap R/B creature with this ability and haste. Imagine early game your opponent cheated out some 5/5 fatty and has a stupid grin on their face as they wait for next turn to start smashing face. But then you bounce it with a 2/1 or something, and then even deal a bit of damage as punishment.

You are paying that extra blue mana to have a creature type that matters.
Any tribal wizard deck would be mono blue anyway.

If I control an Æther Adept when ever I cast a second one will I be able to return two creatures to their owner's hand; since they both have the effect, "When Æther Adept enters the battlefield, return target creature to its owner's hand"? Does it accumulate is what I am asking?
