Perilous Snare

Perilous Snare is a Artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.) When this artifact enters, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until this artifact leaves the battlefield. Max speed — {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature or Vehicle you control. Activate only as a sorcery."

Perilous Snare has a mana cost of {2}{W}, which equals 3.0 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.

Perilous Snare's mana cost of {2}{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.

Perilous Snare 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."

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.

Max speed — {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature or Vehicle you control. Activate only as a sorcery."
