Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist

Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist is a Legendary Creature — Human Scientist Villain card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "As long as there are eight or more cards in your graveyard, Doc Ock has base power and toughness 8/8. As long as you control another Villain, Doc Ock has hexproof. (He can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)"

Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist has a mana cost of {4}{U}, which equals 5.0 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.

Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist's mana cost of {4}{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.

Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist has a mana value of 5.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
