Old Man Willow

Old Man Willow is a Legendary Creature — Treefolk card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Old Man Willow's power and toughness are each equal to the number of lands you control. Whenever Old Man Willow attacks, you may sacrifice another creature or a token. When you do, target creature an opponent controls gets -2/-2 until end of turn."

Old Man Willow has a mana cost of {2}{B}{G}, which equals 4.0 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.

Old Man Willow's mana cost of {2}{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.

Old Man Willow has a mana value of 4.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
