The energy cost that must be payed to play the action. |
When an action resolves any effects in the text occur.
Many actions target a particular permanent and all actions have a well-defined source. When an action is played, the player playing it chooses a commander that they control as the source and then chooses any targets needed. The range of the action is measured from the chosen commander. (See Target and Source)
Slow Action
A slow action is an action that can only be played on a normal stack and only as the first action to be added to the stack. This means that during a turn, players in essence take turns either playing a slow action or declaring a movement stack.
Fast Action
A fast action is an action that can be played at any time the player has priority.
