Frequently Asked Questions
Reverse Damage is a Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way."
Reverse Damage has a mana cost of {1}{W}{W}, which equals 3.0 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.
Reverse Damage's mana cost of {1}{W}{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.
Reverse Damage 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."
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.
Reverse Damage's current oracle text is: "The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way."
