Aethertide Whale: Blue Tempo Engine
Aethertide Whale is a blue flying creature costing {4}{U}{U}. It carries a 6/4 body that applies steady pressure and fits neatly into mid game control plans. When it enters the battlefield, you gain six energy counters, a resource that can influence your subsequent plays. The combination of evasive power and a solid body gives you immediate value while you set up your next move.
In Commander, this card supports a measured blue tempo or control shell. The ability to bounce Aethertide Whale back to your hand for {U}{U}{U}{U} provides a reliable reload option, letting you redeploy threats or reestablish your defenses on subsequent turns. The lingering presence of a flying whale helps keep up the pressure while you navigate counterspells and card advantage, all within a stable and practical game plan.
