Hello Again!!
Im using Elixir of Immortality in some of my decks for constantly recycle cards back to my library and use again and again.
But is any card that aloud me to bring cards from Exile to my Graveyard?
This is for when someone use Path to Exile and I can't play a counterspell
Thanks
Technically one card can manipulate the Exile Zone, Mirror of Fate
However it is usually really bad to do so. Unless your library had very few cards remaining.

You're looking for Pull from Eternity .
This should really be in the forums instead of in the QandA

Riftsweeper also moves cards from exile but shuffles it into its owner's library.

When M10 was released, there were multiple rule changes such as the removal of mana burn, changing deathtouch/lifelink to a static ability, and other changes like that.
Before M10, The exile zone was known as the "removed from the game zone" and exiling was called "removing from the game"

203995014 is correct and provides relevant information here. I will only add one thing to support what has been said. You can look at the Gatherer page of Pull from Eternity
by clicking here. In the box to the right of the card, you can see what is called the "oracle text". Oracle text is the most up to date version of a card's text. It reflects all wording convention changes WotC make over time. It takes precedence over whatever is written on the actual card. Sometimes, the changes have various implications that are difficult to realize for some people. As an example, let's take older walls. Earlier, if a creature had the Wall creature type, it was unable to attack. Walls had a reminder text on them sayting that, but no actual keyword ability. Later, Wizards changed the rule so that Wall creature type was not preventing walls from attacking, but they created the "Defender" ability doing that and changed all previously released walls to have defender. Due to this, you can destroy Wall of Stone
with Clear a Path
even though, defender is not printed on it. Some players might not get that at first.
In your particular example, looking at the oracle text, you can see that Pull from Eternity
's text actually says "Put target face-up exiled card into its owner's graveyard".

There is no card yet that can tamper with the exile zone like that. Although, if that's your only problem, perhaps try Misthollow Griffin
