The one thing this card has going for it is that it can retrieve Planeswalkers from the graveyard. That, and it is a cheap metal craft candidate, though on that note there are still much better other options as well.
Now am I reading this right, or can it return cards to your hand that were exiled? It does not say from where you can return the target permanent.

As bad as this is, it's the only colorless card that returns any permanent you own & control to your hand.
For creatures I'd rather use Erratic Portal or Dragon Mask. For example if I want to use the same Ball Lightning over and over again.

The battle of Tomakul. Hmmm. I wonder if Emrakul was there?
If one had a boatload of mana, then this card and Emrakul could yield infinite turns.

@ ScepterofEternities "Does a card this bad really exist? Wow. And a rare? Just woooow. And reprinted? WOOOOOOOOOW."
Pokemon kiddies are easily amazed. Here, let me "fix" the Obelisk of Undoing for you:
Obelisk, the Eons Torn:
6 colorless mana
666/666
Flying, trample, lifelink, vigilance, infect
Super-Annihilator 666 (If opponent looks at this card as you're casting it, he must tear up 666 cards he owns from his own Magic: the Gathering collection.
If this goes into your graveyard from anywhere, you may kick your opponent in the balls, even if he is alseep in bed because it's 4:00AM and your last game ended several hours ago. Local and federal laws still apply.
There. Happy now?

I know this card isn't the greatest, but it isn't garbage.
It's a reusable way to- at instant speed- get your stuff back to your hand. If someone tries to kill a permanent of yours, return it. If a permanent you have is about to be stolen, return it.
You can also use this to return Plainswalkers who are about to die, or other permanents that are almost or completely out of counters like Iceberg or Parallax Wave. Or permanents that have to many counters like Voodoo Doll.
A specific combo I can think of is to use this with Delaying Shield to save your life.
This card DOES have uses, and i can actually see it appearing in some decks.
It definately not as bad as, say, Wood Elemental

Combo with anything requiring the sacrifice of an artifact or permanent. Example: sacrifice to Krark-Clan Ironworks to get 2 mana back.
