Stasis Snare/Get Lost interaction didn't exile target
Opponent attacked with Elenda, I cast Stasis Snare, Opp Cast Get Lost targeting Stasis Snare. Stasis snare has to resolve onto the battlefield for Get lost to target it, but Elenda never left play and was able to complete the attack as if Stasis snare never entered. it should have exiled her regardless for a moment and put her back in summon sick/untapped. instead she was able to flow through as if Stasis Snare was counterspelled. this is incorrect operations.

When the duration of an effect ends before it begins, it never begins. The effect here is "exile target creature", the duration is "until Stasis Snare leaves the battlefield". That duration ends with the destruction of the Snare, so the creature never gets exiled.
Do not confuse this with Oblivion Ring and similar cards, that exile as a one-shot effect, and return the card via another trigger. Those WOULD exile the card no matter what. And in fact would keep it exiled if removed before the exile happens.
