Aurora Shifter

Aurora Shifter is a Creature — Shapeshifter card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you get that many {E}. At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay {E}{E}. When you do, this creature becomes a copy of another target creature you control, except it has this ability and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you get that many {E}.""

Aurora Shifter has a mana cost of {1}{U}, which equals 2.0 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.

Aurora Shifter's mana cost of {1}{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.

Aurora Shifter has a mana value of 2.0. 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.
