17-Year Cicadas

17-Year Cicadas is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Create ten 1/1 white Insect creature tokens with flying. Exile 17-Year Cicadas with seventeen time counters on it. Suspend 17 — {0} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {0} and exile it with seventeen time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.) Whenever you cast a spell, if this card is suspended, remove a time counter from it."

17-Year Cicadas has a mana cost of {7}{W}, which equals 8.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires W mana to cast.

Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.

17-Year Cicadas's mana cost of {7}{W} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Colored symbols (W=White, U=Blue, B=Black, R=Red, G=Green) must be paid with that specific color, while numbers can be paid with any color.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.

17-Year Cicadas has a mana value of 8.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
