Mangara of Corondor exiles any permanent on the board — no targeting restrictions, no card-type limits — at the cost of exiling itself alongside it. The catch is real: the ability requires tapping and a full activation turn to resolve, so it's slow and fragile, but Athreos, Shroud-Veiled turns that self-exile into a recurring threat that opponents eventually stop contesting.

Athreos, Shroud-Veiled
Athreos, Shroud-Veiled places a coin counter on Mangara of Corondor during your end step, so when Mangara exiles itself as part of the activation, Athreos returns it to the battlefield — letting you fire the ability again next turn and lock down one permanent per rotation until the table deals with one of the two pieces.

In Commander, Mangara of Corondor is a slow but unconditional answer to anything — planeswalkers, enchantments, indestructible threats — that most white removal can't touch. The tap-plus-wait timing means it telegraphs the removal a full turn in advance, which is a real liability in faster metas but workable in midrange pods where opponents have fewer instant-speed ways to respond. In Legacy and Vintage it's essentially unplayable; those formats have no patience for a three-mana creature with a sorcery-speed-equivalent activation that takes two turns to resolve. Oathbreaker is its other Commander-variant home, and the same engine-building logic applies there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Mangara of Corondor is deep bulk — easy to acquire, easy to throw in a list without a second thought about cost. That price is unlikely to move unless a new commander creates a breakout engine around the self-exile loop, which hasn't happened yet.
