The First Sliver

The First Sliver is a Legendary Creature — Sliver card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.) Sliver spells you cast have cascade."

The First Sliver has a mana cost of {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, G, R, U, W mana to cast.

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

The First Sliver's mana cost of {W}{U}{B}{R}{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.

The First Sliver has a mana value of 5.0. 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.

The First Sliver's current oracle text is: "Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.) Sliver spells you cast have cascade."
