River Song's Diary

River Song's Diary is a Artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Imprint — Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell from their hand, exile it instead of putting it into a graveyard as it resolves. At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are four or more cards exiled with this artifact, choose one of them at random. You may cast it without paying its mana cost."

River Song's Diary has a mana cost of {3}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It is a colorless card and can be cast with any color of mana.

Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.

River Song's Diary's mana cost of {3} 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.

River Song's Diary 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."

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.

River Song's Diary's current oracle text is: "Imprint — Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell from their hand, exile it instead of putting it into a graveyard as it resolves. At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are four or more cards exiled with this artifact, choose one of them at random. You may cast it without paying its mana cost."
