You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions for the exiled card. If it's a land, you can't play it unless you have land plays available.

If you play a card this way, it leaves exile and becomes a new object. If it returns to exile later in the turn, you can't play it again.

You'll still pay all costs for a spell cast this way, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs if any are available.
