Disperse in the Wind2U Instant (Rare)
Exile target nonland permanent. For as long as that card remains exiled, it's owner may cast it without paying its mana cost.
I think a lot of folks here are underestimating this card. I'll just leave you with this thought:
2U: Exile my Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. Recast it for free. That's the kind of stuff you'll want this for.
It has the added bonus of being able to clear a blocker if you need to alpha strike.

Feels like a bad design. "How does countering it" stop it from doing anything if they can easily just cast it for free from exile again? Sure you can stop an attack or a planeswalker ultimate but... idk feels like it's lacking.

That's why you use it on your own stuff. To get another cast trigger from an Eldrazi, perhaps? Or to save a big ETB-value fattie from removal and then get that effect again? Just some thoughts.

Ulamog still in standard? Are there any powerfull card with a cast trigger currently? I jsut don't see why is a rare.

Standard? No. Modern? Yes. Commander? Yes. You have to think outside of the box with cards like these.
In Legacy you might be able to hit something that got Sneak Attacked/Show and Telled out onto the field as well. They won't be able to recast that quite as easily.
And then there's the utility of simply saving a big fatty from removal. Or removing a chump blocker to go for the win. It's versatile and it has applications beyond what first glance tells you to, that's why it's rare.

All of the described scenarios above would be great if the exiled card couldn't be casted for free. Of course I wouldn't want this in limited at uncommon but I feel like it shouldn't even have been printed.

You can keep minus-ing your PW until it's a low loyalty, and then recast it to reset it's loyalty.
It's basically like a blink variation that makes you recast it first. Interesting design space that I'm glad they didn't put on a creature and then we'd have the Saheeli combo all over again.

Feel very limtied in commander. In other formats i guess i can see in Goyos, Through the Breaches, sneak atatcks ansd things like that. The converted mana cost makes me doubtfull of it.I guess im just confused by it.
There's also some interesting interactions with Snapcaster Mage. Being able to exile in response to some opponent's tomfoolery, and then casting it for free later on could be nice, too. In that regards I am paying one extra mana over something like Boomerang, in order to save an additional mana later on.
These are the kind of cards that make my Johnny-spark ignite.
I have been toying with a BUG control deck in Standard, and this actually allows me another fun scenario. Imagine you have a Vraska, Relic Seeker on board, and last turn you made a pirate. Now this turn, your opponent has two larger threats on the board. I can -3 Vraska to terminate one of them, then Disperse her, cast her again, and activate her minus ability a second time. In this case, Disperse is more like Terminate than anything. This would also allow a better use of another new card I've been proxy-testing--Dead Man's Chest--as I have a free (really 3 mana) ability I can use to cash DMC in right away.
They won't be able to recast that quite as easily.
Actually yes ...they will, for free
Yea okay, brainfart on my part. Still, other scenarios still apply, this is a card to use on your own creatures first and foremost with some added utility tacked on.

Loving all the reactions to this card. It isn't supposed to be a 0 tier bounce spell. It trades off some power for a wide array of usability. As people have said, this is great with on cast permanents you control. It's great with etb effects you control. It's great as protection for permanents you control. It acts as single target removal (unconditional removal!) temporarily. It resets either side's walkers, either yours that's about to die, or an opponent's that's about to ultimate. This is a Swiss army knife of a bounce spell. I really like it, not because of its power but because of how wide its uses are.
Considering that timing-restrictions still apply to the re-cast, this is really good. Decks that go all in on one permanent, a combo piece, a huge fatty, or just a wall, you Exile it EO opponents turn, and that A.) clears the way for your own attack, B.) Allows you to answer the recast if it’s a combo piece, and C.) Delays the attack of a fatty by another turn.
It’s a niche tool, but it’s really good at what it does. This was what was missing from Eldrazi Processor decks.
you can blink your own creatures to save them, get etb or cast triggers
you can get rid of enemy tokens
you can disable one attack
you can play political in a multiplayer round
you can exile you opponents creatures why would like the etb or cast effect
its not the super good value rare you might want, but i think this card has some potential in casual multiplayer rounds (and yes, it could have had cmc 2, but than people would put it into isochrons)
It keeps going.
-You can hide one of your own creatures from a wrath effect (either in response to an opponent's effect, or pre-emptively in advance of a wrath of your own).
-X-in-cost creatures would get recast with X=0. As in: this forces a Walking Ballista to unload and exit. Similarly, this would make a Chalice of the Void come back on 0, an Engineered Explosives to come back on 0. Astral Cornucopia. Nissa, Steward of Elements.
Creatures that are enchanted / equipped would become unattached.
Creatures that are counter-loaded (o hai Longtusk Cub) would reset.
I feel like this would have felt a lot better if it either costed 1U or cantripped. This is basically a Cloudshift with some very minor other applications like re-using on-cast triggers, dodging board wipes and resetting summoning sickness. But those honestly feel like they're worth an extra 1 not 2. A cmc of 2 or not wasting card advantage on an effect like this would have made it feel like a much better utility card.

Cloudshift can only target creatures you control, this can target any nonland permanent under any player's control. That added utility to fog an attacker or remove a token or remove counters from an opponent's thing is relevant. I think your base comparable should be Turn to Mist, not Cloudshift. Turn to Mist is properly costed at 2 for that effect (being able to target your creatures or your opponent's), and this costs one more mana for the extra utility of specific-to-this-one things like reusing cast triggers and being able to target any type of nonland permanent, not just creatures.
...but why does this even exist? Compared to normal blink effects like cloudshift, all its really accomplishing is letting you delay reentry and also get 'on cast' triggers. But not 'on cast from hand' triggers. I'm struggling to understand what was going through D&D's minds when they created this card. Did they know something we don't? I can't imagine they'd put a rare flicker effect at 3 without something busted to hold it back.

EDIT : got it. More like a flicker, but delayed.

Also:
At least Boomerang isn't strictly better.
I have a Sygg, River Cutthroat EDH deck that uses a lot of evasive creatures and small Eldrazi, such as Ulamog's Nullifier, Ulamog's Reclaimer, and Wasteland Strangler. With processors, an EoT Disperse in the Wind is basically a `destroy target nonland permanent`.
There's also some interesting interactions with Snapcaster Mage. Being able to exile in response to some opponent's tomfoolery, and then casting it for free later on could be nice, too.
