Aetherize (FDN)

Instant

Return all attacking creatures to their owner's hand.

Reliable bounce effect for control and tempo decks. Aetherize clears the board of attacking creatures while leaving your life total intact, making it a flexible answer to aggressive strategies in Commander, Modern, and Pioneer. Best in decks that can leverage the tempo swing—particularly control shells that stall until they assemble a win condition. Note that it only works during combat, so it won't answer creatures that are already in play but not attacking.
