It requires W mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Hardened Escort's mana cost of {2}{W} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.
Hardened Escort has a mana value of 3.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
