A-Thran Portal

A-Thran Portal is a Land — Gate card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "As A-Thran Portal enters, choose a basic land type. Thran Portal is the chosen type in addition to its other types. Mana abilities of A-Thran Portal cost an additional 1 life to activate."

A-Thran Portal has a mana cost of 0, which equals 0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It is a colorless card and can be cast with any color of mana.

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

A-Thran Portal's mana cost of 0 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.

A-Thran Portal has a mana value of 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.

A-Thran Portal's current oracle text is: "As A-Thran Portal enters, choose a basic land type. Thran Portal is the chosen type in addition to its other types. Mana abilities of A-Thran Portal cost an additional 1 life to activate."
