Feather, the Redeemed states that you exile the card instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves. Dreadhorde Arcanist states that if the card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead.
I attack with Dreadhorde Arcanist, and cast Take Heart from my graveyard targeting the Arcanist.
Since I cast an instant that targets a creature I control, Feather, the Redeemed should then trigger.
So, my question is, would Feather, the Redeemed exile Take Heart to be returned to my hand later, or would Dreadhorde Arcanist exile it permanently?
As it stands, I believe the Arcanist only exiles a card that would go to the graveyard, but Feather doesn't even word it like that, it just gets exiled as it resolves. I think Feather wins out, and this could be an answer to what many people were brainstorming on Feather for. This means that flashback cards basically return to your hand after the flashback instead of being exiled.

In my group there's this thing called taking a "Ryan turn."
Yeah, that's my fault...
There's actually a ruling on Feather, the Redeemed that addresses both of these scenarios:
If another replacement effect instructs you to exile an instant or sorcery spell, such as that of Dreadhorde Arcanist or the flashback keyword, you may choose to apply Feather’s replacement effect first. If you do, Feather’s delayed triggered ability will return that card to your hand.

...but basically you have two competing replacement effects from Feather and Dreadhorde Arcanist that are trying to replace the same event (Take Heart being put into your graveyard as it resolves). Since this is the case, you can actually choose which of those effects to apply first. If you choose to apply Feather's replacement effect first, Take Heart will be exiled, and her delayed triggered ability will return it to your hand.
The same happens if you cast a spell with flashback that targets a creature you control - you can choose whether to let the card be exiled from flashback's replacement effect, or apply Feather's to exile it and create the delayed triggered ability that will return the card to your hand.
