New to magic have a question

[Wonderboy518]

So I have a question. Me and my cousin are trying to figure out how tapping manna works and when you need to use it. So here is the an example. When I want to call in a creature to my battle field I need to tap the correct amount of manna to bring that creature in and cannot attack until my next turn. When I attack with that creature do I need to re tap that same amount of manna to have that creature attack if it does not describe it in the attack on the card? Or do I just need to tap the creature to indicate attack? Any answers would be helpfull and I know it's a stupid question just wondering.

Thanks wonderboy

It's not a stupid question. Everybody has questions when they are new. I thought every creature had trample.

Thanks for the answers my cousin that hasn't played the game in over a decade told me that you needed to tap manna to attack so I was right more confirmations the better possibly people that play in firday night magic would help too thanks again.

Unless the creature has some sort of effect that makes you pay mana to attack, the only thing required to attack is to tap it. If it isn't written on the card, you don't have to worry about it.

I'd suggest having a look through the Basic Rule Book Stickied above. It's got pictures.
