A very nice card! I don't think that's so overpowered that couldn't be reprinted. Someone told that it's too good against aggro, and that gains a lot of time, but isn't this the point of a controllish creature? However, it's a good design: simple and effective!

Reprinted at a cost of 4 is possible. At 3? Not in a tournament-legal product.
@A3Kitsune: Not a 3? Not 2U, but apparently 1UU is viable even at common.

M11. Aether Adept. Same 2/2 body, same CMC, but instead of . It's a hot chick with great art and also a Wizard, though, so I'll take the loss of splashability, thank you very much.

Actually, real-life Man o'Wars are not true Jellyfish...(is shot).
Very nice card though. Control plus a body in one cheap package.

This is possibly my favorite creature in the game. The option for blue to gain some tempo by forcing your opponent to re-cast the creature and putting a blocker down for later use, is just amazing. Of course, it is great because of it's mana-cost and it's power/toughness.
I really hope WotC reprints this card with the same art (love it too) or maybe new art by Puddnhead. It would probably be an uncommon though.

Only 3 mana to drop a jellyfish and then to have it bounce right back into your hand? Wait, with Aluren you can do it for free? Endlessly?
How did wizards know my favorite thing in the world is endlessly bouncing jellyfish? I don't even need to make it part of a combo, I just want the simple pleasure of playing catchball with a semi-sentient creature.
For trully endless fun, play against an opponent who also has a man o' war or aether adept. Endless bouncing for everyone!

@ A3Kitsune: They did reprint this at 2 blue, 1 colorless. You're wrong again.

Jellfish Tribal is now possiblol!!! http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?type=+||subtype=+
A Man O War isn't a Jellyfish at all. It's 4 different creatures in a colony. The head isn't even the same, it's a thin sac of air that is shaped totally different. Flavor fail lol. Nice card though.

Splashable Aether Adept? Yes please. Although I use it in a mono-blue deck anyway. Grand for my control deck, when I dont't have the counters to get rid of a fatty. Return it to their hand and then hope I draw a counter next turn.
@SweetZombiJesus just add Genesis Chamber and Altar of Dementia

Honestly, I'm shocked this has yet to be printed in a core set. Seems very 'Basic blue' to me.

Be sure to check out the awesome anti-shark art on the Starter '99 version.

"Ah you performed your dark ritual and summoned a giant demon!?
I will summon.. a Jellyfish!"
*plop*
Demon: *BLARRRHHGH IT STIIINGS! FUCK THIS!
I wish they'd kept the art with the shark, though. It was pretty great.
