Stasis Snare timing
I cast a Stasis Snare and targeted a creature to be exiled. My opponent destroyed my Stasis Snare, but the exile effect did not happen. If my Stasis Snare was "in play" enough to be destroyed, why wasn't it "in play" enough to exile the creature?

Because the duration of the exile ended before it began. So it never got to begin, meaning nothing got exiled. Stasis Snare works differently from Oblivion Ring, a single trigger responsible for the exile and return. O-Ring has two triggers, one for exile, one for return. Similar cardsto both exist, so make sure which template you are dealing with as they are mechanically different.
