Frequently Asked Questions
Invade the City is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Amass Zombies X, where X is the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. (Put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a Zombie. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token first.)"
Invade the City has a mana cost of {1}{U}{R}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R, U mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Invade the City's mana cost of {1}{U}{R} 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.
Invade the City 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."
