About Shielded Aether Thief

A deck focused on tempo and card advantage, such as a blue control or tempo deck, would benefit from including Shielded Aether Thief. While it provides a steady source of energy and card draw, there are potentially better options like Snapcaster Mage for versatility or True-Name Nemesis for a more aggressive approach. However, Shielded Aether Thief could still see play in certain metagames or strategies that value its specific abilities and cost efficiency.
