Steelswarm Operator

Steelswarm Operator is a Artifact Creature — Robot Soldier card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Flying {T}: Add {U}. Spend this mana only to cast an artifact spell. {T}: Add {U}{U}. Spend this mana only to activate abilities of artifact sources."

Steelswarm Operator has a mana cost of {1}{U}, which equals 2.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires U mana to cast.

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

Steelswarm Operator's mana cost of {1}{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.

Steelswarm Operator has a mana value of 2.0. 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.

Steelswarm Operator's current oracle text is: "Flying {T}: Add {U}. Spend this mana only to cast an artifact spell. {T}: Add {U}{U}. Spend this mana only to activate abilities of artifact sources."
