AEtherling is a planeswalker, right?
This deck is mostly geared toward a UWR and Jund Meta.
A big goal of mine when building this deck was to be able to effectively run Rest in Peace. At this point in standard, R.I.P. will just wreck at least half the match-ups. You can tell it's good because nobody runs it. Normally, a deck that would want to run it can't because it ruins part of their own strategy.
The reasons most meta decks hate to sit across from R.I.P.:
Control decks have Snapcaster Mages and natural flashback spells (Think Twice, Lingering Souls)
All version of the Aristocrats use Lingering Souls, Doomed Traveler and Blood Artist. The Junk version runs off Voice of Resurgence, Young Wolf and Varolz, the Scar-Striped.
Pretty obvious why re-animator hates Rest in Peace. Unburial Rites, Grisly Salvage and Mulch.
Zombie decks have Gravecrawler and the new Dark Prophecy enchantment.
Gruul Aggro decks will sometimes use Strangleroot Geist and Young Wolf. On the same note, mono Green aggro decks also use Rancor.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some other uses for the card, but to sum it up, Rest in Peace does work.
