Arc Blade

Arc Blade is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Arc Blade deals 2 damage to any target. Exile Arc Blade with three time counters on it. Suspend 3—{2}{R} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {2}{R} and exile it with three 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.)"

Arc Blade has a mana cost of {3}{R}{R}, 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.

Arc Blade's mana cost of {3}{R}{R} 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.

Arc Blade 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.

Arc Blade's current oracle text is: "Arc Blade deals 2 damage to any target. Exile Arc Blade with three time counters on it. Suspend 3—{2}{R} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {2}{R} and exile it with three 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.)"
