Mind Spiral

Mind Spiral is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Gift a tapped Fish (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they create a tapped 1/1 blue Fish creature token before its other effects.) Target player draws three cards. If the gift was promised, tap target creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)"

Mind Spiral has a mana cost of {4}{U}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires U mana to cast.

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

Mind Spiral's mana cost of {4}{U} 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.

Mind Spiral 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.

Mind Spiral's current oracle text is: "Gift a tapped Fish (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they create a tapped 1/1 blue Fish creature token before its other effects.) Target player draws three cards. If the gift was promised, tap target creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)"
