Frequently Asked Questions
Joust is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Choose target creature you control and target creature you don't control. The creature you control gets +2/+1 until end of turn if it's a Knight. Then those creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)"
Joust has a mana cost of {1}{R}, which equals 2.0 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.
Joust's mana cost of {1}{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.
Joust has a mana value of 2.0. 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.
Joust's current oracle text is: "Choose target creature you control and target creature you don't control. The creature you control gets +2/+1 until end of turn if it's a Knight. Then those creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)"
