Frequently Asked Questions
Eyes of the Watcher is a Enchantment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, scry 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom and the rest on top in any order.)"
Eyes of the Watcher has a mana cost of {2}{U}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires U mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Eyes of the Watcher's mana cost of {2}{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.
Eyes of the Watcher 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."
