Other than stifle, can't you pseudomorph it out with Illusionary Mask? Then you could sac it to something.

The ability is pretty terrible, as there are several more efficient ways to skip your next turn (should you really want to). Chronatog, Lethal Vapors, Magosi, the Waterviel and Meditate all come to mind. Of course, skipping your next turn is only abusable in the most narrow of contexts.
Considering the triggered ability is garbage, it's hard to look at a 6/1 for seven and see it as a reasonable deal. Were the designers of this card wanting to make it susceptible to pings from the blue player's own Prodigal Sorcerers? Or make the opponent have to consider taking six and NOT blocking it, to avoid giving the Manta's controller the extra turn?
These are the questions of our times.
