Frequently Asked Questions
Anchor to the Aether is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Put target creature on top of its owner's library. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)"
Anchor to the Aether has a mana cost of {2}{U}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires U mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Anchor to the Aether's mana cost of {2}{U} 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.
Anchor to the Aether has a mana value of 3.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
