| A '''generic mana cost''' is a [[mana cost]] that can be paid with [[mana]] of any type; meaning mana of any [[color]], as well as [[colorless]] mana.
| | #REDIRECT [[Generic mana]] |
| | |
| A generic mana cost is represented by a number or an X in a gray circle ({{x}}, {{1}}, {{2}}, {{3}}, {{4}}, and so on).

| ==Difference with colorless==
| |
| There is no such thing as "generic mana".<ref>{{NewRef|making-magic/solemn-oath-part-1-2015-12-28|A Solemn Oath, Part 1|[[Mark Rosewater]]|December 28, 2015 }}</ref> Though you can use [[colorless]] [[mana]] to pay for generic mana costs, they are not the same thing. "Generic" is a type of cost. "Colorless" is a type of mana. You can't produce generic mana, but you can produce colorless mana and have a colorless cost (first introduced with ''[[Oath of the Gatewatch]]'').
| |
| | |
| [[R&D]] came to the conclusion that they had to stop using the mana circle with a number to represent both generic and colorless mana. Changing the representation of colorless mana was easier, as it's represented far less, so they to made the new mana symbol {{C}}. This change was made along with the rules update for the expansion ''[[Oath of the Gatewatch]]'', which features colorless as well as generic mana costs.
