Elspeth Resplendent

Elspeth Resplendent is a Legendary Planeswalker — Elspeth card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+1]: Choose up to one target creature. Put a +1/+1 counter and a counter from among flying, first strike, lifelink, or vigilance on it. [−3]: Look at the top seven cards of your library. You may put a permanent card with mana value 3 or less from among them onto the battlefield with a shield counter on it. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. [−7]: Create five 3/3 white Angel creature tokens with flying."

Elspeth Resplendent has a mana cost of {3}{W}{W}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires W mana to cast.

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

Elspeth Resplendent's mana cost of {3}{W}{W} 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.

Elspeth Resplendent has a mana value of 5.0. 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.

Elspeth Resplendent's current oracle text is: "[+1]: Choose up to one target creature. Put a +1/+1 counter and a counter from among flying, first strike, lifelink, or vigilance on it. [−3]: Look at the top seven cards of your library. You may put a permanent card with mana value 3 or less from among them onto the battlefield with a shield counter on it.
