A good card and good effect, of course, but it just becomes awkward when all your opponent's x/2 or less creatures have useful ETBs. "I *could* bounce your Coiling Oracle back to your hand... but I'd better not".
Although those kinds of politics are an extra upside in EDH and MP.

This could've been printed as a rare (and Search the City as an uncommon) and I don't think people would feel too shafted.
This is a card that, in limited, competes with Archon of the Triumvirate for picking-power. You don't even need to bounce creatures to take use this card well. a 4-cost 3/3 flyer is already dangerous.
For the future, pick this over Lyev Skyknight. Despite the lack of Detain, the extra 2 toughness goes a long way, considering Towering Indrik, Daggerdrome Imp, Vassal Soul, and Sunspire Griffin.

Steel of the Godhead goes nicely with this guy in a {U} {W} deck.

Jund's thallids tried to disguise their deliciousness by covering themselves in spines harvested from the tukatongue tree.
