Otherworldly Journey is preferable in a mono-white deck most of the time since you won't be using this card just for hoping to flicker some of your opponent's creatures which have a disadvantageous cip/etb ability and use it on yours instead.
As opposed to Momentary Blink, both Otherworldly Journey and Turn to Mist can also be used to prevent your creature from removal effects or just to fizzle any spell or ability that tries to target it.
In some cases you might be even consider running both the Journey and this card.
Oh, and it can aside from triggering cip effects also be used to trigger those effects which trigger when the creature leaves the battlefield, such as several creatures with Evoke.
It's also somewhat useful with Vanishing and Fading creatures. Aven Rif-LOLCENCORED-cher for instance might not be the most impressive creature to combine with flicker effects, but a good one. He will provide ... (see all)

@ Etregan Yes, a morph creature will be returned to the battlefield face-up as though it had been played that way, even if it was face-down when it left the battlefield. Any morph effects for turning it face-up will NOT trigger since it wasn't morphed. So for example, a face-down Maelstrom Djinn is exiled by a flicker effect, it returns to the battlefield face-up without any counters and does not have Vanishing.

Lots of combo power here. Lots of cards have extra costs when they enter play, uses this on opponents creatures. Also there are plenty of cards that give you nice chunks of life or tokens when they enter play use this on your own creatures that have such abilitys.

Compared to Momentary Blink, the hybrid cost makes Turn to Mist easier to play and the fact that it can target any creature makes it more versatile. It can be used to regain control of a creature that has been stolen, as well as temporarily remove an opponent's blocker, which is something that Momentary Blink doesn't offer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you exile a morph creature, it comes back into play face-up, right?

WOAH!!!
I decided to try out this card after years of having it just sit there..
I was amazed by it's versatility. Simply amazed....
It does everything from kill your opponent's Marit Lage from Dark Depth. "I sac Hexmage and get a 20/20. -thrust-" "Stuff you, Turn to Mist. Bye bye Indestructible 20/20."
"Minus 6 loyalty points!" Makes a ginormous Ajani Goldmane token "=) Turn to Mist the token =)"
"Mind Control" "Turn to Mist"
"Doomblade" "Turn to Mist"
"Journey to Nowhere" "Turn to Mist"
"Phage the Untouchable" "Uhhh.... LOLLL...... "Turn to Mist you just Lost The Game ;)"
"Pacifism" "Turn to Mist"
Or maybe your opponent chucked an expensive Aura onto their creature.
... (see all)
