Herald of the Host

Herald of the Host is a Creature — Angel card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Flying, vigilance Myriad (Whenever this creature attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)"

Herald of the Host has a mana cost of {3}{W}{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.

Herald of the Host's mana cost of {3}{W}{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.

Herald of the Host 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.

Herald of the Host's current oracle text is: "Flying, vigilance Myriad (Whenever this creature attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)"
