Gideon, Martial Paragon

Gideon, Martial Paragon is a Legendary Planeswalker — Gideon card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+2]: Untap all creatures you control. Those creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn. [0]: Until end of turn, Gideon becomes a 5/5 Human Soldier creature with indestructible that's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn. [−10]: Creatures you control get +2/+2 until end of turn. Tap all creatures your opponents control."

Gideon, Martial Paragon has a mana cost of {4}{W}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires W mana to cast.

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

Gideon, Martial Paragon's mana cost of {4}{W} 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.

Gideon, Martial Paragon has a mana value of 5.0. 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.

[0]: Until end of turn, Gideon becomes a 5/5 Human Soldier creature with indestructible that's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn. [−10]: Creatures you control get +2/+2 until end of turn. Tap all creatures your opponents control."
