when oblivion ring re-enters play, you select a target and exile it. it can but does not have to be the same one

yup.can be the same or a new target.

what they said +

you make it sound like you think Oblivion Ring is an aura (= enchantment that enchants a permanent). Oblivion ring doesn't enchant anything, it exiles another non land permanent. It does not enchant this permenant.

Actually, I may be wrong, so someone may need to correct me, but I think if he activates the angel in responce to the O-ring, removing the O-ring before it resolves, I think the angel gets removed permanently. So the O-ring would come back into play, but the angel wouldn't, so you would have to choose another permanent to remove. I think I've seen this happen on MTGO, so I think this is how it works.

Edit: Actually I'm pretty sure this is right, cause I've seen someone cast an O-ring, and in responce cast an Into the Roil on their O-ring, returning it to their hand before it resolves, and it permanently removes the permanent from the game. Does that make any sence at all? lol.

I'm sorry, I totally missunderstood what you were asking. I thought you were asking if they activated the angel in responce to O-ring. So.... as stated above the O-ring would come back into play and you can chose any legal target, whether it's the same or a differant target doesn't matter.

If Oblivion Ring leaves the battlefield before its first ability has resolved, its second ability will trigger and do nothing. Then its first ability will resolve and exile the targeted nonland permanent forever. so play the ring. respond to the 1st ability using the roil (or boomerang) then resolve the stack.
