Preacher of the Schism

Preacher of the Schism is a Creature — Vampire Cleric card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Deathtouch Whenever this creature attacks the player with the most life or tied for most life, create a 1/1 white Vampire creature token with lifelink. Whenever this creature attacks while you have the most life or are tied for most life, you draw a card and you lose 1 life."

Preacher of the Schism has a mana cost of {2}{B}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B mana to cast.

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

Preacher of the Schism's mana cost of {2}{B} 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.

Preacher of the Schism 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."
