What it does
At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its mana value.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2010-08-15
The mana value of the revealed card is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner. The mana value is the total amount of mana in that cost, regardless of color. For example, a card with mana cost 3 has mana value 5.
- 2010-08-15
If the mana cost of the revealed card includes X, X is considered to be 0.
- 2010-08-15
If the revealed card has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
