Polygraph Orb

Polygraph Orb is a Artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "When this artifact enters, look at the top four cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. You lose 2 life. {2}, {T}, Collect evidence 3: Each opponent loses 3 life unless they discard a card or sacrifice a creature. (To collect evidence 3, exile cards with total mana value 3 or greater from your graveyard.)"

Polygraph Orb has a mana cost of {4}{B}, which equals 5.0 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.

Polygraph Orb's mana cost of {4}{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.

Polygraph Orb 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.

Polygraph Orb's current oracle text is: "When this artifact enters, look at the top four cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. You lose 2 life. {2}, {T}, Collect evidence 3: Each opponent loses 3 life unless they discard a card or sacrifice a creature. (To collect evidence 3, exile cards with total mana value 3 or greater from your graveyard.)"
