I'm always excited about spells (or permanents with flash) that cause a permanent to bounce back to its owner's hand at instant speed. I think such spells are valuable political tools in a multiplayer game like Commander. It may seem wasteful at first, but by "delaying" a threat from exploding, other players in the game will have a greater incentive to turn their attention towards the one who dared to bring out the threat to begin with (and hopefully, ignore you to let you continue working on your nefarious schemes).
It doesn't matter if it's a game-ending combo piece, a board-controlling permanent, or just an annoying card like Sensei's Divining Top: by making it plain that the offending card can come back again unless its owner "is dealt with", what you lose in card value, you can make up with the roster of new (temporary) allies who would be a little more willing to use their resources to gang up on a common enemy.
