Ephemerate resolves (Mangara goes and returns untapped)
Mangara's Ability resolves (Land is exiled)
At this point I retain Mangara, I'm happy and with no questions.
Then at the beginning of my next upkeep
Can I activate Mangara's Ability at the beginning of that upkeep, then choose how to stack both things and have Mangara flicker again with the rebound of Ephemerate?
Or I could only put Mangara on top and lose Mangara? (and wasting the rebound if I don't have any other target)
No. The first thing that happens at the beginning of your upkeep is Ephemerate goes on the stack. You can activate Mangara in response, but it will be exiled before Ephemerate resolves.
EDIT: Technically the Rebound trigger goes on the stack, but there is no way to resolve it so Ephemerate resolves first.
Thanks. I figured as much, but wanted to be certain, maybe there was a loophole that made it possible by activating Mangara at the beginning of your upkeep (same time). But ok, clear. It's good to have confirmation, thanks!
