Frequently Asked Questions
Quick-Draw Katana is a Artifact — Equipment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "During your turn, equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has first strike. (It deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)"
Quick-Draw Katana has a mana cost of {2}, which equals 2.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It is a colorless card and can be cast with any color of mana.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Quick-Draw Katana's mana cost of {2} 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.
Quick-Draw Katana 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.
