Crowded Crypt

Crowded Crypt is a Artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "{T}: Add {B}. Whenever a creature you control dies, put a corpse counter on this artifact. {4}{B}{B}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed for each corpse counter on this artifact. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)"

Crowded Crypt 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.

Crowded Crypt'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.

Crowded Crypt 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."

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.

Crowded Crypt's current oracle text is: "{T}: Add {B}. Whenever a creature you control dies, put a corpse counter on this artifact. {4}{B}{B}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed for each corpse counter on this artifact. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)"
