Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God is a Legendary Planeswalker — Bolas card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Nicol Bolas has all loyalty abilities of all other planeswalkers on the battlefield. [+1]: You draw a card. Each opponent exiles a card from their hand or a permanent they control. [−3]: Destroy target creature or planeswalker. [−8]: Each opponent who doesn't control a legendary creature or planeswalker loses the game."

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God has a mana cost of {U}{B}{B}{B}{R}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, R, U mana to cast.

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

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God's mana cost of {U}{B}{B}{B}{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.

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God 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."
