Frequently Asked Questions
Prison Barricade is a Creature — Wall card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Defender (This creature can't attack.) Kicker {1}{W} (You may pay an additional {1}{W} as you cast this spell.) If this creature was kicked, it enters with a +1/+1 counter on it and with "This creature can attack as though it didn't have defender.""
Prison Barricade has a mana cost of {1}{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.
Prison Barricade's mana cost of {1}{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.
Prison Barricade 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."
