Ashiok, Nightmare Muse

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse is a Legendary Planeswalker — Ashiok card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+1]: Create a 2/3 blue and black Nightmare creature token with "Whenever this token attacks or blocks, each opponent exiles the top two cards of their library." [−3]: Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand, then that player exiles a card from their hand. [−7]: You may cast up to three spells from among face-up cards your opponents own from exile without paying their mana costs."

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse has a mana cost of {3}{U}{B}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, U mana to cast.

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

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse's mana cost of {3}{U}{B} 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.

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse 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.

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse's current oracle text is: "[+1]: Create a 2/3 blue and black Nightmare creature token with "Whenever this token attacks or blocks, each opponent exiles the top two cards of their library." [−3]: Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand, then that player exiles a card from their hand. [−7]: You may cast up to three spells from among face-up cards your opponents own from exile without paying their mana costs."
