At the beginning of your end step, you may pay one or more {E}. If you do, create an X/X colorless Vehicle artifact token named Nalaar Aetherjet with flying and crew 2, where X is the amount of {E} paid this way."

Pia Nalaar, Chief Mechanic has a mana cost of {G}{U}{R}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires G, R, U mana to cast.

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

Pia Nalaar, Chief Mechanic's mana cost of {G}{U}{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.
