Frequently Asked Questions
Deconstruction Hammer is a Artifact — Equipment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has "{3}, {T}, Sacrifice Deconstruction Hammer: Destroy target artifact or enchantment." Equip {1} ({1}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)"
Deconstruction Hammer has a mana cost of {W}, which equals 1.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires W mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Deconstruction Hammer's mana cost of {W} 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.
Deconstruction Hammer has a mana value of 1.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
