Sorin, Grim Nemesis is a Legendary Planeswalker — Sorin card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+1]: Reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. Each opponent loses life equal to its mana value. [−X]: Sorin deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker and you gain X life. [−9]: Create a number of 1/1 black Vampire Knight creature tokens with lifelink equal to the highest life total among all players."

Sorin, Grim Nemesis has a mana cost of {4}{W}{B}, which equals 6.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, W mana to cast.

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

Sorin, Grim Nemesis's mana cost of {4}{W}{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.

Sorin, Grim Nemesis has a mana value of 6.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
