Grist, the Hunger Tide

Grist, the Hunger Tide is a Legendary Planeswalker — Grist card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "As long as Grist isn't on the battlefield, it's a 1/1 Insect creature in addition to its other types. [+1]: Create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token, then mill a card. If an Insect card was milled this way, put a loyalty counter on Grist and repeat this process. [−2]: You may sacrifice a creature. When you do, destroy target creature or planeswalker. [−5]: Each opponent loses life equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard."

Grist, the Hunger Tide has a mana cost of {1}{B}{G}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, G mana to cast.

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

Grist, the Hunger Tide's mana cost of {1}{B}{G} 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.

Grist, the Hunger Tide 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.

[+1]: Create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token, then mill a card. If an Insect card was milled this way, put a loyalty counter on Grist and repeat this process. [−2]: You may sacrifice a creature. When you do, destroy target creature or planeswalker. [−5]: Each opponent loses life equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard."
