Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy

Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy is a Legendary Creature — Human Wizard card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, you may cast up to one target card of the other type from your graveyard. If a spell cast from your graveyard this way would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead. Choose a Background (You can have a Background as a second commander.)"

Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy 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.

Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy'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.

Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy 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."
