Frequently Asked Questions
Aura Barbs is a Instant — Arcane card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Each enchantment deals 2 damage to its controller, then each Aura attached to a creature deals 2 damage to the creature it's attached to."
Aura Barbs has a mana cost of {2}{R}, which equals 3.0 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.
Aura Barbs's mana cost of {2}{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.
Aura Barbs 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.
