Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
wotc7 Jun 2024
If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

Abstruse Appropriation doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
wotc7 Jun 2024
In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spells or permanents you control from Abstruse Appropriation's effect are exiled, and any cards still exiled by it remain exiled.

If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield. You can't cast it.
wotc7 Jun 2024
In the rare case where the exiled card is a land card (probably because that land became a copy of a permanent while it was still on the battlefield), you won't be able to play it from exile.
Ranked by shared capabilities, colour identity, mana value and type — never by strategic judgement.
