Tidal Influence

Tidal Influence is a Enchantment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Cast this spell only if no permanents named Tidal Influence are on the battlefield. This enchantment enters with a tide counter on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a tide counter on this enchantment. As long as there is exactly one tide counter on this enchantment, all blue creatures get -2/-0. As long as there are exactly three tide counters on this enchantment, all blue creatures get +2/+0. Whenever there are four or more tide counters on this enchantment, remove all tide counters from it."

Tidal Influence has a mana cost of {2}{U}, which equals 3.0 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.

Tidal Influence's mana cost of {2}{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.

Tidal Influence 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.

Tidal Influence's current oracle text is: "Cast this spell only if no permanents named Tidal Influence are on the battlefield. This enchantment enters with a tide counter on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a tide counter on this enchantment. As long as there is exactly one tide counter on this enchantment, all blue creatures get -2/-0. As long as there are exactly three tide counters on this enchantment, all blue creatures get +2/+0. Whenever there are four or more tide counters on this enchantment, remove all tide counters from it."
