Ghave, Guru of Spores

Asked by Riv329 8 years ago

When playing Ghave, Guru of Spores it comes in with 5 +1-+1 counters. and states pay 1mana, Remove a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control: Create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token. Does this mean that I only have to pay the one mana and remove all five to create the 1/1 tokens or do I have to pay one mana for each +1/+1 I remove to get a token.

you have to pay one for each counter you remove and creature 1 token. and it can be from any creature you control with a +1/+1 counter,not just from Ghave.

Activated abilities are written in the form "[cost]: [effect]." Notably, the colon separates cost and effect.

The cost of Ghave, Guru of Spores's first activated ability is ", Remove a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control." Each time you choose to activate this ability, you have to pay this cost in full. You can't pay one mana for five activations.
