Frequently Asked Questions
Plasma Caster is a Artifact — Equipment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Equipped creature gets +1/+1. Whenever equipped creature attacks, you get {E}{E} (two energy counters). Pay {E}{E}: Choose target creature that's blocking equipped creature. Flip a coin. If you win the flip, exile the chosen creature. Otherwise, this Equipment deals 1 damage to it. Equip {2}"
Plasma Caster 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.
Plasma Caster'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.
Plasma Caster 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.

Pay {E}{E}: Choose target creature that's blocking equipped creature. Flip a coin. If you win the flip, exile the chosen creature. Otherwise, this Equipment deals 1 damage to it. Equip {2}"
