Avatar: The Last Airbender (TLA)

Airbend

The rule

You exile a permanent or spell; while it is exiled, its owner may cast it for two mana rather than its mana cost.

In play

Against an opponent the card comes back for two mana: tempo on a cheap card, but not on an expensive one. On your own permanents you can recast them and reuse their enters-the-battlefield abilities.
