About this converter
Monster Train cards cost ember, the energy that refills each turn from a base of 3, and this page compares 15 fixed costs from Shiny Shoe game data. Four spells cost 0 ember, seven cards cost 1, two cost 2, Blazing Bolts and Ritual of Battle cost 3, and Consumer of Crowns tops the table at 10. Costs come from the Monster Train Wiki card pages. X cost cards like Vent spend variable ember and stay out since no fixed figure exists. Costs sit in each row note with clan and rarity.
How to use it
Pick two cards and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Consumer of Crowns against Excavated Ember to see the 10 to 0 gap. Then test Blazing Bolts against Cave In to compare 3 ember with 2.
Consumer of Crowns discounts 3 ember per Imp in play, so its 10 base rarely pays full in a demon build. Engine Upgrade and Ember Forge generate ember rather than spending tempo, which is why both sit at 1. Petty Theft and Steel Pulleyclaw stay out to hold the file at 15 rows. Monster Train 2 reworks clans and stays out of scope.
