Most people in this forum will tell you that :aether is overpowered. This argument will tell you why it is actually a very even element.
First off, the most complained about card in the whole game is probably Dimensional Shield. But they have it all wrong: Dimensional shield is not actually OP at all because another card was made to balance it:

This card, when it was created, was thought that it would balance out Dim Shield because it was so UP. But nobody wanted to nerf their decks with this card, so really its their fault.

Many people believe that Phase spider is ruining the game because of its web ability. Even though it is useless in most situations and does very little when it is usable, it cost just 1 :air, rendering it OP. But, like the Dim Shield, it too was nerfed by a different card:

Now anyone who doesn't like mono- :aether spider web decks can become mono- :aether and defeat the spider web decks with this weapon.

The other creature that people don't like is Phase Dragon. He can't be touched, and CC-shields take a long time to kill him, so the next card that was added was the opposite of immortal:

No-one really understands how this affects the dragon, but what else could it be? I mean, they wouldn't just add it because it was a pretty good card, right?
So there you have it: :aether is not OP, its just a matter of how you build your deck.

Yes, this is just humor. Don't take it seriously.

We're talking about :aether cards here. Shoo with your darkness. Also, immaterial counters PU. How did Aether win 3 wars in a row?

Aether needs a buff.
Phase Shield sucks. It should last five turns.
Fractal should double your hand size each use.
And I have no idea what Zanny was thinking with the shard. The shard should cost one :chroma.

phase shield for just 5 turns? you sure? it should also negate momentum and be immaterial.

I think we should un-nerf Phase Dragon AND buff it to 15/10 and make it do double damage every time you take damage.

EDIT: And make it free if a Phase Shield is active, of course.
There is a darkness inside every person. The only difference is how long it takes to come out.

Free? Boring.
Phase Dragon should give qyanta back when you summon it.

That would be SOOOO OP. We're trying to balance Aether here. Be serious
