Creature not returned from exile
Invocation of the Founders under my ownership. Opponent played Journey to Nowhere in order to exile my Atraxia. I played Get Lost in response. My Get Lost copied by Invocation of the Founders. I targeted their Solidarity Study room enchantment as well as Journey to Nowhere before it could grab my Atraxia. My Get Losts went off fine, destroyed both of those. However, Journey to Nowhere exiled my Atraxia anyway, but then it was never returned to the battlefield. See screenshots.

Journey to Nowhere is an Oblivion Ring type exile. Meaning, it has a seperate trigger to return the exiled card, instead of the exile being a duration until the permanent leaves the battlefield. This means, you pulled the O-Ring trick on yourself, exiling the target forever. Because the return trigger happened before the exile occured, it had nothing to return. So when the exile did occur, there was no way for the card to return since the only way to do so has been destroyed (by you) beforehand.
Destroying any O-Ring type exile permanent will not stop the exile, and doing so beforehand will ensure, that the permanent cannot return. To save your Atraxa, you had to let the exile happen, and THEN get rid of Journey to Nowhere.
