Text(CH+errata):{2},{Tap}: Remove target creature you control from game. ; At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice ~this~. If you do, each player puts into play all cards he or she owns removed from game with ~this~. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
When creatures return to play, they are put into play as if just played. Creatures with X in the mana cost are treated as X is zero (see Rule K.28.Ruling.2). [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/30] Creatures which can pay costs when put into play to determine abilities must have those costs paid at this time (see Rule G.28.3).
Creatures return to play simultaneously. [Duelist Magazine #18, Page 29]
Creatures return to the control of their owners, regardless of who controls the Haven when it is sacrificed. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
When the creature leaves play any damage or "will be destroyed at some future time" effects are removed from the creature. [D'Angelo 1994/07/01] See Rule Z.1.3.
Enchantments on creatures are put into the graveyard and counters on creatures are removed when the creatures are sent to the Haven. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/30]
If the Haven is destroyed, any creatures it pulled out of the game are simply lost. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
All cards in the Haven stay there even if they cease to be creatures. When the Haven is sacrificed, the cards come back into play whether or not they are creatures. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123]
Token creatures cease to exist when they leave play, so this effect just removes them from the game with no chance to bring them back like you can with cards. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123] See Rule K.25.6
If changed to another land type using a spell such as Phantasmal Terrain, creatures are not lost but cannot be released until the land is reverted to normal. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
Creatures are placed in the "removed from game" zone (see Rule Z.8), so the Ring of Ma'ruf can be used on them. [D'Angelo 1996/11/11]

Expansion PS(U)
Text(PS):2/2, Flying. ; When ~this~ comes into play, return a white or blue creature you control to its owner's hand. ; When ~this~ comes into play, draw two cards, then put two cards from your hand on the bottom of your library.
Both triggered abilities trigger at the same time so you can decide which order they go on the stack. If you have no cards in hand, you would likely choose the order where you draw and put on the graveyard before unsummoning the creature that is in play. [Planeshift FAQ 2001/01/26]
You choose the creature to return on resolution of the triggered ability. This is not targeted. [D'Angelo 2001/04/16]
