Ral, Crackling Wit

Ral, Crackling Wit is a Legendary Planeswalker — Ral card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put a loyalty counter on Ral. [+1]: Create a 1/1 blue and red Otter creature token with prowess. [−3]: Draw three cards, then discard two cards. [−10]: Draw three cards. You get an emblem with "Instant and sorcery spells you cast have storm." (Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn.)"

Ral, Crackling Wit has a mana cost of {2}{U}{R}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires R, U mana to cast.

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

Ral, Crackling Wit's mana cost of {2}{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.

Ral, Crackling Wit has a mana value of 4.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
