12/1/2004·wotc

Most tokens have a mana value of 0. A token that's a copy of another permanent or card has a mana value equal to that permanent or card's mana value.

12/1/2004·wotc

If the targeted permanent doesn't have the lowest mana value when the ability resolves, the ability doesn't resolve and the permanent isn't destroyed.

12/1/2004·wotc

If the lowest mana value is 3, Culling Scales can destroy itself.
