Frequently Asked Questions
Poison the Cup is a Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Its ability reads: "Destroy target creature. If this spell was foretold, scry 2. Foretell {1}{B} (During your turn, you may pay {2} and exile this card from your hand face down. Cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost.)"
Poison the Cup has a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires B mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Poison the Cup's mana cost of {1}{B}{B} 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.
Poison the Cup 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."
