Notes
Vault entries gain a personal note when you add this card to your binder — pull location, sleeve type, trade history. Sign in to start tracking.
If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
wotc
To 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.
wotc
The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
