Was the errata removed from this card which required it to be in play when the creatures were exiled? If so, this card is insanely broken, and even more so with an Opalescence in play.
Situation: It's your opponent's turn and he or she has 40 Relentless Rats in play and they're about to attack you. You have an Opalescence and Parallax Wave (Parallax Tide can be broken just as easily, but won't save you from this situation) with five counters on it in play.
You remove four of Wave's counters targeting four of his Rats and then remove the fifth targeting Wave itself. The Wave gets exiled, triggering its "Return stuff to play" ability while only itself has been exiled, returning itself to play (with five fresh, new counters, I believe, since Magic treats this new Wave as an entirely new permanent; I've been told it would come into play with none because of a rules change, but don't know if it's true). There are now four abi... (see all)

Needs to be reworded to say: Remove a fade counter from Parallax Wave: Exile target creature with “Return this card to the battlefield when Parallax Wave is not on the battlefield.”

No, you have to pay the ability's cost. You can't "try to pay it" and sacrifice it.
Besides, it's removing 5 creatures, not just 4. You exile them all, leaving no fade counter on wave, then, in your next upkeep, you sac it.

Just end your turn with Sundial of the Infinite when it triggers to return all cards back to the battlefield lol

Why do people say it can exile 5 cards?
After it has no counters the comeback cause it dies read the card.
Still unequaled in ETB tomfoolery though.

It's quite simple, Xaviar; most people commenting on here tend to think beyond the card.
What happens, for example, if it's played with Eon Hub?
Exactly.

So play this, exile 5 or less creatures on the stack. Before they resolve sacrifice it or destroy it. The "leaves play" trigger happens and finds nothing to exile yet. The exiled creatures remain exiled :D

This card combos really well with Whip of Erebos since the whips replacement won't trigger, you can get the creature you reanimate back permanently, once Parallax Wave leaves play.
