Gameplay

Kicker {1} (You may pay an additional {1} as you cast this spell.) Target creature you control gets +0/+3 until end of turn. If this spell was kicked, that creature also gains hexproof until end of turn. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)

If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
