Frequently Asked Questions
Corsair Captain is a Creature — Human Pirate card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "When this creature enters, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.") Other Pirates you control get +1/+1."
Corsair Captain 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.
Corsair Captain'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.
Corsair Captain 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."
