Shielded Aether Thief, Creature — vedalken rogue, designed by Lake Hurwitz first released in Jan, 2017 in the set Aether Revolt and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
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.

Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They’re not associated with specific permanents. (Other kinds of counters that players may have include poison and experience.)

If an effect says you get one or more , you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more , you lose that many energy counters. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.

If Shielded Aether Thief somehow blocks more than one creature at once, you get only one .

You can’t pay more energy counters than you have.
