Frequently Asked Questions
Cabal Surgeon is a Creature — Human Minion card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "{2}{B}{B}, {T}, Exile two cards from your graveyard: Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand."
Cabal Surgeon has a mana cost of {2}{B}{B}, which equals 4.0 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.
Cabal Surgeon's mana cost of {2}{B}{B} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.
