What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the Tempest card (#280).
Printed before collector numbers, which started with Exodus in 1998. The bottom shows only the artist credit ("Illus.") and the copyright. Set symbols were all black before Exodus, and core sets before Sixth Edition have none.

If this card leaves the battlefield, the cards it exiled remain exiled.

If it exiles a token creature, the token ceases to exist and will not return.
2008-04-01
For a time, the second ability returned all cards exiled by it to the battlefield, regardless of what types they had while exiled. It has been restored to its original functionality, so only cards that actually have the type Creature will get returned.
