Elephant Grass

Elephant Grass is a Enchantment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Cumulative upkeep {1} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) Black creatures can't attack you. Nonblack creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each creature they control that's attacking you."

Elephant Grass has a mana cost of {G}, which equals 1.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires G mana to cast.

Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.

Elephant Grass's mana cost of {G} 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.

Elephant Grass has a mana value of 1.0. 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.

Black creatures can't attack you. Nonblack creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each creature they control that's attacking you."
