Secret of Bloodbending

Secret of Bloodbending is a Sorcery — Lesson card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may waterbend {10}. You control target opponent during their next combat phase. If this spell's additional cost was paid, you control that player during their next turn instead. (You see all cards that player could see and make all decisions for them.) Exile Secret of Bloodbending."

Secret of Bloodbending has a mana cost of {U}{U}{U}{U}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires U mana to cast.

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

Secret of Bloodbending's mana cost of {U}{U}{U}{U} 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.

Secret of Bloodbending has a mana value of 4.0. 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.

If this spell's additional cost was paid, you control that player during their next turn instead. (You see all cards that player could see and make all decisions for them.) Exile Secret of Bloodbending."
