5 rulings from Wizards of the Coast
- 29 June 2026If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked.
- 29 June 2026If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
- 29 June 2026Any creature tokens that were returned to your hand are counted by the delayed triggered ability. You'll get a Bird Soldier token for each of them.
- 29 June 2026To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
- 29 June 2026The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
