The Royal Scions

The Royal Scions is a Legendary Planeswalker — Will Rowan card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Its ability reads: "[+1]: Draw a card, then discard a card. [+1]: Target creature gets +2/+0 and gains first strike and trample until end of turn. [−8]: Draw four cards. When you do, The Royal Scions deals damage to any target equal to the number of cards in your hand."

The Royal Scions has a mana cost of {1}{U}{R}, which equals 3.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).

It requires R, U mana to cast.

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

The Royal Scions's mana cost of {1}{U}{R} 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 Royal Scions 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.

The Royal Scions's current oracle text is: "[+1]: Draw a card, then discard a card. [+1]: Target creature gets +2/+0 and gains first strike and trample until end of turn. [−8]: Draw four cards. When you do, The Royal Scions deals damage to any target equal to the number of cards in your hand."
