Fain, the Broker

Fain, the Broker is a Legendary Creature — Human Warlock card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "{T}, Sacrifice a creature: Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature. {T}, Remove a counter from a creature you control: Create a Treasure token. {T}, Sacrifice an artifact: Create a 2/1 white and black Inkling creature token with flying. {3}{B}: Untap Fain."

Fain, the Broker has a mana cost of {2}{B}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B mana to cast.

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

Fain, the Broker's mana cost of {2}{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.

Fain, the Broker 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."

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.
