I encountered a rather confusing case with grafdigger's cage and blessed reincarnation.
It exiles a creature my opponent control, but does it still put a creature revealed from the topdeck to the battlefield?

When Blessing Reincarnation resolves with a legal target, the spell does as much as possible (C.R. 608.2b, 101.3, 101.2; see also C.R. 609.3), which means that—
the targeted creature is exiled if possible,
that creature's controller "reveals cards from the top of their library until a creature card is revealed", to the extent possible,
if Grafdigger's Cage is on the battlefield when that happens, creature cards in libraries can't enter the battlefield, so the creature card, if any, isn't put there so that it remains in the library (merely revealing a card doesn't move it out of the library [C.R. 701.15b]), and
that player shuffles "the rest" of the revealed cards into their library, if possible, which means that if the creature card is still in the library, that creature card will be shuffled along with "the rest" of the revealed cards and all other cards in the library that weren't revealed this way.
