Ajani, Valiant Protector is a Legendary Planeswalker — Ajani card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+2]: Put two +1/+1 counters on up to one target creature. [+1]: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put that card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. [−11]: Put X +1/+1 counters on target creature, where X is your life total. That creature gains trample until end of turn."

Ajani, Valiant Protector has a mana cost of {4}{G}{W}, which equals 6.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires G, W mana to cast.

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

Ajani, Valiant Protector's mana cost of {4}{G}{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.

Ajani, Valiant Protector has a mana value of 6.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
