Frequently Asked Questions
Act of Aggression is a Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "({R/P} can be paid with either {R} or 2 life.) Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn."
Act of Aggression has a mana cost of {3}{R/P}{R/P}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Act of Aggression's mana cost of {3}{R/P}{R/P} 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.
Act of Aggression has a mana value of 5.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
Oracle text is the official, current rules text for a Magic card as maintained by Wizards of the Coast. It supersedes any printed text on older cards.
Act of Aggression's current oracle text is: "({R/P} can be paid with either {R} or 2 life.) Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn."
