Frequently Asked Questions
Dead Drop is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for {1}.) Target player sacrifices two creatures of their choice."
Dead Drop has a mana cost of {9}{B}, which equals 10.0 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.
Dead Drop's mana cost of {9}{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.
Dead Drop has a mana value of 10.0. 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.
Dead Drop's current oracle text is: "Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for {1}.) Target player sacrifices two creatures of their choice."
