Frequently Asked Questions
Rite of Ruin is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Choose an order for artifacts, creatures, and lands. Each player sacrifices one permanent of their choice of the first type, sacrifices two of their choice of the second type, then sacrifices three of their choice of the third type."
Rite of Ruin has a mana cost of {5}{R}{R}, which equals 7.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Rite of Ruin's mana cost of {5}{R}{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.
Rite of Ruin has a mana value of 7.0. 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.
Rite of Ruin's current oracle text is: "Choose an order for artifacts, creatures, and lands. Each player sacrifices one permanent of their choice of the first type, sacrifices two of their choice of the second type, then sacrifices three of their choice of the third type."
