Nearly every card in Time Spiral block was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card represents one of the heroes of the Mirage block storyline. Mangara was betrayed by Jolrael, Empress of Beasts and Kaervek the Merciless; he was locked away for years in an Amber Prison. He would be eventually rescued by Captain Sissay of the Skyship Weatherlight.

Mangara is an anagram of "anagram."

Untapping works, too! Thousand-Year Elixir allows you to immediately remove two different permanents for four mana..

This card's power is in its formatting. Removing him isn't part of the cost. Its part of the effect. So if you use a card like Karakas or Call to Heel, you can save him and remove your opponent's card. The Karakas + Mangara combo is part of a very influential Legacy deck called "Death and Taxes".

Phobia, it works because the Exiling of Mangara is part of the resolution. You declare the ability and pick the target, then you have a window of opportunity before Mangara and the target poof. During this gap, you can move Mangara to a different zone, which will cause the game to lose track of it. It will then do what it can of the pending ability, exiling the target and failing to find the Mangara, causing that part of the effect to pass with no effect.
