Frequently Asked Questions
Benthic Anomaly is a Creature — Eldrazi Serpent card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Devoid (This card has no color.) When you cast this spell, for each opponent, choose a creature that player controls. Create a token that's a copy of one of those creatures, except its power is equal to the total power of those creatures, its toughness is equal to the total toughness of those creatures, and it's a colorless Eldrazi creature."
Benthic Anomaly has a mana cost of {6}{U}, which equals 7.0 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.
Benthic Anomaly's mana cost of {6}{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.
Benthic Anomaly has a mana value of 7.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
