Frequently Asked Questions
Parting Gust is a Instant 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.) Exile target nontoken creature. If the gift wasn't promised, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it at the beginning of the next end step."
Parting Gust has a mana cost of {W}{W}, which equals 2.0 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.
Parting Gust's mana cost of {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.
Parting Gust has a mana value of 2.0. 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.

If you do, they create a tapped 1/1 blue Fish creature token before its other effects.) Exile target nontoken creature. If the gift wasn't promised, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it at the beginning of the next end step."
