Secrets of the Golden City

Secrets of the Golden City is a Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.) Draw two cards. If you have the city's blessing, draw three cards instead."

Secrets of the Golden City has a mana cost of {1}{U}{U}, which equals 3.0 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.

Secrets of the Golden City's mana cost of {1}{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.

Secrets of the Golden City 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.

Secrets of the Golden City's current oracle text is: "Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.) Draw two cards. If you have the city's blessing, draw three cards instead."
