The Bus Runner

The Bus Runner is a Legendary Creature — Human Gamer card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "When The Bus Runner enters, create a 4/4 Desert Vehicle artifact land token with crew 2. Put eight hour counters on it. It has "{T}: Add {C}" and "Whenever this token or a Gamer you control becomes tapped, remove an hour counter from this token. Then if it has no hour counters on it, each opponent loses 1 life, you gain 1 life, and put eight hour counters on this token." Ready to run (You can have two commanders if both have ready to run.)"

The Bus Runner has a mana cost of {1}{B}{G}{U}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires B, G, U mana to cast.

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

The Bus Runner's mana cost of {1}{B}{G}{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.

The Bus Runner 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.

The Bus Runner's current oracle text is: "When The Bus Runner enters, create a 4/4 Desert Vehicle artifact land token with crew 2. Put eight hour counters on it. It has "{T}: Add {C}" and "Whenever this token or a Gamer you control becomes tapped, remove an hour counter from this token. Then if it has no hour counters on it, each opponent loses 1 life, you gain 1 life, and put eight hour counters on this token." Ready to run (You can have two commanders if both have ready to run.)"
