Its ability reads: "Eminence — Whenever you cast another Vampire spell, if Edgar is in the command zone or on the battlefield, create a 1/1 black Vampire creature token. First strike, haste Whenever Edgar attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on each Vampire you control."
Edgar Markov has a mana cost of {3}{R}{W}{B}, which equals 6.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires B, R, W mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Edgar Markov's mana cost of {3}{R}{W}{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.
Edgar Markov has a mana value of 6.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
