Frequently Asked Questions
Gorilla Shaman is a Creature — Ape Shaman card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "{X}{X}{1}: Destroy target noncreature artifact with mana value X."
Gorilla Shaman has a mana cost of {R}, which equals 1.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.

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