Roalesk, Prime Specimen

Roalesk, Prime Specimen is a Legendary Creature — Human Mutant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Flying Whenever Roalesk, Prime Specimen or another permanent you control is turned face up, you may pay {X}. If you do, if X is 1 or more, conjure a duplicate of a random creature card with mana value X into your hand. Cloak it. It gains "{G/U}: Turn this creature face up" for as long as it remains face down. Disguise {G}{U}"

Roalesk, Prime Specimen has a mana cost of {2}{G}{U}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires G, U mana to cast.

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

Roalesk, Prime Specimen's mana cost of {2}{G}{U} 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.

Roalesk, Prime Specimen 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."
