Tempest Efreet

Tempest Efreet is a Creature — Efreet card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Remove this card from your deck before playing if you're not playing for ante. {T}, Sacrifice this creature: Target opponent may pay 10 life. If that player doesn't, they reveal a card at random from their hand. Exchange ownership of the revealed card and Tempest Efreet. Put the revealed card into your hand and Tempest Efreet from anywhere into that player's graveyard. This change in ownership is permanent."

Tempest Efreet has a mana cost of {1}{R}{R}{R}, which equals 4.0 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.

Tempest Efreet's mana cost of {1}{R}{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.

Tempest Efreet 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."

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.

Tempest Efreet's current oracle text is: "Remove this card from your deck before playing if you're not playing for ante. {T}, Sacrifice this creature: Target opponent may pay 10 life. If that player doesn't, they reveal a card at random from their hand. Exchange ownership of the revealed card and Tempest Efreet. Put the revealed card into your hand and Tempest Efreet from anywhere into that player's graveyard. This change in ownership is permanent."
