Stroke of Luck

Stroke of Luck is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Look at the top four cards of your library. Choose one of them and put all cards with the same name as the chosen card from among them into your hand. You lose 1 life for each card put into your hand this way. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order."

Stroke of Luck has a mana cost of {1}{B}, which equals 2.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B mana to cast.

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

Stroke of Luck's mana cost of {1}{B} 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.

Stroke of Luck 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.
