Frequently Asked Questions
Maximum Carnage is a Enchantment — Saga card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.) I — Until your next turn, each creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able. II — Add {R}{R}{R}. III — This Saga deals 5 damage to each opponent."
Maximum Carnage has a mana cost of {4}{R}, which equals 5.0 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.
Maximum Carnage's mana cost of {4}{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.
Maximum Carnage 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."
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.

I — Until your next turn, each creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able. II — Add {R}{R}{R}. III — This Saga deals 5 damage to each opponent."
