See Cadrick's Harrier.

Not sure on wording. Switch reminder text to "It gains "Its owner may pay {2} to return that creature to the battlefield." I intended the ransom to be payable at any time.

Oh ho! I had not twigged that ransoming your own stuff to re-trigger ETB was a thing. Noice.

Wait, so what are the zones cards can be ransomed from? Graverobber says graveyard and this battlefield. Library probably doesn't work, but hand I guess could?

I don't see the idea of being able to ransom from different zones being a good idea. It opens a slew of potential mix-ups and memory issues. Say, there are 10+ ransomed cards and you should keep in mind where each of them was exiled from. You could try to keep them in different piles depending on the zones, but that could become messy fast.

Ransom from exile!

This is a legit concern, I agree. Focussing on battlefield seems the right way to go.

I always forget people have memory issues. Unfortunately, you're probably right that players would forget where the card was originally from.

Ransoming from the graveyard is not that deep a well to go for anyway.
