Qazior, it's rare because it's a guy who appears regularly in flavor text, and is therefore lulz.

EGarrett01: By your reasoning, you respect phasing even less than WotC because you can't be bothered to check what it actually is. This is being exiled and then returned. Phasing keeps the card on the board, it just looks the other way and pretends it doesn't exist. For instance, this triggers enters- and leaves-the-battlefield triggers while phasing doesn't.
Kor6sic6: Unfortunately no, it gets exiled way before combat damage is declared. You also can't block with him, because he poofs before you can declare blockers.
Ekann123: Norin still gets out of the way because split second prevents players from casting spells or activating abilities, but Norin ninjas away as a triggered ability. However, if his ability was instead "
: Exile Norin the Wary until end of turn" then Sudden Shock would kill him, because once the shock's on the stack they can't choose to respond with his ability.
Continue: Yes, yes it is.

Yore-Tiller Nephilim can help him deal combat damage to an opponent, which probably makes that opponent concede because of humiliation! :)

I'm not sure, but I think you could change his creature type with Artificial Evolution (playing it in response to his being cast, so that you can actually hit him) and have him trigger abilities that happen whenever the new creature type enters the battlefield. The only problem with that is whether Artificial Evolution's changes last after the card is exiled.
If that doesn't work, you can always use Conspiracy.

This card can get pretty serious in actual play. It's a cross between mono-red aggro and affinity. Norin the Wary paired with Genesis Chamber makes a great token engine that can stop some Birthing Pod variants cold with the onslaught of Myr tokens. Combine with Signal Pests, Goblin Bushwhackers, Memnites and cards that go back to your hand each turn such as Archwing Dragon. Confusion in the Ranks RUINS a lot of Modern decks if it can be pulled out quick enough. 4/5 for the best and most reliable EtB trigger in the game but requiring someone to build around him. It's also my favorite creature.

That's just the cutest damn thing. "I cast Chimney Imp." "Oh noes! Hide!"
