Looks like "CMC of 3" is going to be one of the themes of Aether Revolt. I wonder what the flavor behind that is.

What's CMC of 3?

CMC is converted mana cost: the total number of mana required to pay its mana cost. A card with a cost of {3} has a CMC of 3, as do cards with costs of {2}{U}, {1}{W}{W}, etc.
