Frequently Asked Questions
Flame Discharge is a Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Flame Discharge deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker. If you controlled a modified creature as you cast this spell, it deals X plus 2 damage instead. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)"
Flame Discharge has a mana cost of {X}{R}, which equals 1.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Flame Discharge's mana cost of {X}{R} 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.
Flame Discharge 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."
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.
Flame Discharge's current oracle text is: "Flame Discharge deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker. If you controlled a modified creature as you cast this spell, it deals X plus 2 damage instead. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)"
