Gameplay

Creature — Avatar

Vigilance Converge — When this creature enters, you may draw X cards, where X is the number of colors of mana spent to cast this spell. If you draw one or more cards this way, discard two cards.

Even as most archaics raged across Arcavios, others seemed to sink into contemplation.

If you cast a spell with converge without spending any mana to cast it (perhaps because an effect allowed you to cast it without paying its mana cost), then the number of colors spent to cast it will be zero.

2026-03-20wotc

If there are any alternative or additional costs to cast a spell with a converge ability, the colors of mana spent to pay those costs will count.

2026-03-20wotc

If a spell with a converge ability is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so the number of colors of mana spent to cast the spell will be zero. The number of colors spent to cast the original spell is not copied.
