Tried a few variants on this. Wanted "escape" flavour, but also "return to hand" to be a drawback. Played with returning to hand being optional immediately instead of protection (to avoid mass removal), but was too complicated.

Pretty good removal, too.

It says "target creature you control"...

I debated allowing to bounce opponent's creatures, but decided it was too complicated. (And it's not really white.)
