Gearbane Orangutan is a Creature — Ape card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Gearbane Orangutan's mana cost of {2}{R} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.
