Luk and Zuberi thank you

While the creature is outside the arena, they're still considered in play. So, you cannot cast another Kralathor.
Yes, you do receive a mana if one of your soldier creatures counterstrikes and damages another creature. However, the limit of once per creature per round still applies. So, you can't use counterstrikes to get multiple mana triggers out of one creature. You could also get mana from doing a ranged attack, a zone attack, a doublestrike, triplestrike, or a sweeping attack. In these instances, you still have the limit of once per creature per round, however, which makes the last three pretty rare but still possible thanks to factors such as Daze and Defenses. Like sIKE said, basically if you Declare an attack, it counts as an attack.
what about teleport trap and caltrops then? if teleport goes first, caltrops attack is cancelled due to a teleport?
Why would you trigger them in that order? Teleport trap only targets enemy creatures. So, if you controlled both Caltrops and teleport trap and an enemy creature came into the zone, you would obviously hit it with the Caltrops first, then beam it across the arena.
There is no reason to teleport it before triggering caltrops.
If they are both owned by the same person, they could choose the order in which they occur. They must both occur however, regardless. Even if Mangler Caltrops goes first and kills the creature, Hellfire Trap would still have to be revealed. Thus I'm not completely certain why the order is a big concern.
If they are owned by different people, then the person with initiative would decide what order to apply them in. Once again, both must occur regardless of the order however.
When a creature walks in and triggers them, the person with initiative can ask the other if they need to do anything before carrying out their own effects. Thus, they can ask for you to apply your caltrops before they decide to reveal their enchantment, or they can ask if you need to reveal anything before they apply their caltrops, depending on who controls what. Either way, you don't have to reveal your enchantment until after the order of events has been decided. The most you have to do is say you need to reveal an enchantment and then they decide whether to let you reveal before or after they apply their effects.
