Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal

Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal is a Legendary Artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, exile it. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a creature card exiled with Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal onto the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it."

Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal has a mana cost of {3}{B}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B mana to cast.

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

Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal's mana cost of {3}{B} 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.

Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal has a mana value of 4.0. 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.

Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal's current oracle text is: "Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, exile it. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a creature card exiled with Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal onto the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it."
