Its ability reads: "As an additional cost to cast this spell, collect evidence X, where X is the total mana value of the permanents this spell targets. Destroy up to one target artifact, up to one target creature, up to one target enchantment, and up to one target planeswalker."
Urgent Necropsy 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.
Urgent Necropsy'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.
Urgent Necropsy 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."
