Its ability reads: "When The Swarmweaver enters, create two 1/1 black and green Insect creature tokens with flying. Delirium — As long as there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, Insects and Spiders you control get +1/+1 and have deathtouch."
The Swarmweaver has a mana cost of {2}{B}{G}, which equals 4.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires B, G mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
The Swarmweaver's mana cost of {2}{B}{G} 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 Swarmweaver 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."
