Frequently Asked Questions
Rockalanche is a Sorcery — Lesson card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Earthbend X, where X is the number of Forests you control. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put X +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.) Flashback {5}{G} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)"
Rockalanche has a mana cost of {2}{G}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires G mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Rockalanche's mana cost of {2}{G} 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.
Rockalanche 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.

Put X +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.) Flashback {5}{G} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)"
