Frequently Asked Questions
Exotic Pets is a Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Create two 1/1 blue Fish creature tokens with "This token can't be blocked." Then for each kind of counter among creatures you control, put a counter of that kind on either of those tokens."
Exotic Pets has a mana cost of {1}{W}{U}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires U, W mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Exotic Pets's mana cost of {1}{W}{U} 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.
Exotic Pets 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."
