I'm trying to form a Esper Flicker/Processor Modern Deck and I ran into a few questions about the nature of temporary exiles:
1) If I processed the card I exiled with Oblivion Ring or Parallax Tide, will it still return to the battlefield from the graveyard? The card makes it sound like it does, but I heard that cards with these kind of effects lose track of the card if it leaves exile. Is that true?
2) Especially if point 1 is true, can I use Leyline of the Void to immediately exile it from the graveyard and the card would still stay in exile after Oblivion Ring or Parallax Tide left the battlefield, since it switched zones, or would the cards function normally since the card returned to exile?
Thanks!

Dragon, Demon, and Angel in every block? Eldrazi want some of that!
1) Changing zones from exile to anywhere else makes those linked abilities lose track, because the cards become new objects. And so these cards won't be able to return that way.
2) The Leyline creates a replacement effect, so the cards never actually enter the graveyard, but rather they stay in exile. However, exiling an exiled card still makes it a new object, and as such, the linked abilties still lose track of them, so the cards cannot be returned that way.
