Braids's Frightful Return

Braids's Frightful Return is a Enchantment — Saga card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Read ahead (Choose a chapter and start with that many lore counters. Add one after your draw step. Skipped chapters don't trigger. Sacrifice after III.) I — You may sacrifice a creature. If you do, each opponent discards a card. II — Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. III — Target opponent may sacrifice a nonland, nontoken permanent of their choice. If they don't, they lose 2 life and you draw a card."

Braids's Frightful Return has a mana cost of {2}{B}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B mana to cast.

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

Braids's Frightful Return's mana cost of {2}{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.

Braids's Frightful Return 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."
