I cast {Reflector Mage} my opponent exiles it with {Spell Queller}. Next turn I cast {Eldrazi Displacer}. What happens if I blink the {Spell Queller} does my Mage resolver or get exiled again?
Thanks
Tldr you get your Mage back.
So the way this works is when SQ is flickered by your displaced both abilities will be placed on the stack, the order doesn't matter here because when SQ's etb exile effect is placed on the stack a target must be declared at that moment. Because the ltb recast effect will still be on the stack, your Mage has not had the chance to be placed on the stack and thus can not be targeted for re-exiling.
To recap in steps:
(No offense intended to Redwolf)
{Eldrazi displacer} exiles {spell queller}
- Trigger to cast waits to go on the stack
- SQ returns tapped
- Trigger to exile spell waits to go on the stack
- Your opponent chooses in which order to put the triggers on the stack, choosing targets.
- However: you choose to cast {Reflector Mage} as the "leave" trigger resolves, so it cannot be targeted.

None taken, I have good understanding of how the stack works but I admit explaining it is more difficult.
