It also works to negate annoying things like Isochron Scepter, since the card it imprints is exiled face-up. Anti-Stick cards are good in my book.

It was unbanned because the General Zone is now a separate zone from the Exiled zone, so you cannot Riftsweeper a general from the General Zone into it's owner's library. However, if for some reason the player allows the General to go to the Exiled zone, then yes, you could Riftsweeper it in the owner's library. All in all, still a damn fine card. At worst it is a Grizzly Bears that is tribal elf, at best it gets you back an Exiled creature of yours or shuffles a suspend card into a library. Was really good in Future Sight draft to stop suspend stuff.

I attack you with galepower mage, exile your best creature until end of turn, then cast this to shuffle it.
Or cast flickerwisp and this in the same turn to shuffle ANYTHING and get two creatures too.
Yes you might un-exile your own stuff, or mess with your opponent's shenanigans, but those would just be gravy. And what tasty gravy it would be. Most of your friends probably forgot about this card seconds after reading it for the first time.

Anti-exile. Oblivion ring, journey to nowhere and path to exile won't be bothering you anymore, find a way to keep playing him to maximize the ability.

@Tommy9898: Anti-exile? I don't think so. In fact, two of the cards you listed (Oblivion ring, Journey to Nowhere) are just removal that can be undone by enchantment removal. Your opponents will merely thank you if you shuffle the exiled creature completely back into your library to make sure it won't see the light of day again when their enchantments leave play.
Actually i'd rather use this guy's ability on the exiled card if i had casted the enchantment, so i could flicker it with no worries and exile something different.

Along with nixing Suspended cards (he combos well with Delay), he turns temporary exile spells and effects like Turn to Mist and Mistmeadow Witch's ability into "shuffle into owner's library", and gets rid of stuff that was only exiled until the permanent that exiled it (for instance, a Champion creature) leaves play.
He's also anti-Imprint tech (or a way to get back your own Imprinted cards if something happens to the Imprinting artifact).
